What would be the effect of changing the password field in "/etc/passwd" from "x" to "*"?

I am wondering if I should merge those changes into my "/etc/passwd" file. -- Matt Seitz Manager, File System Virtualization Cisco Systems, Inc. .:|:.:|:. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
