 107     <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
 108     <para>
 109       The <filename>/etc/login.defs</filename> file defines the
 110       site-specific configuration for the shadow password suite. This file
 111       is required. Absence of this file will not prevent system operation,
 112       but will probably result in undesirable operation.
 113     </para>
 114
 115     <para>
 116       This file is a readable text file, each line of the file describing
 117       one configuration parameter. The lines consist of a configuration name
 118       and value, separated by whitespace. Blank lines and comment lines are
 119       ignored. Comments are introduced with a "#" pound sign and the pound
 120       sign must be the first non-white character of the line.
 121     </para>
 122
 123     <para>
 124       Parameter values may be of four types: strings, booleans, numbers, and
 125       long numbers. A string is comprised of any printable characters. A
 126       boolean should be either the value <replaceable>yes</replaceable> or
 127       <replaceable>no</replaceable>. An undefined boolean
 128       parameter or one with a value other than these will be given a
 129       <replaceable>no</replaceable>
 130       value. Numbers (both regular and long) may be either decimal values,
 131       octal values (precede the value with <replaceable>0</replaceable>) or
 132       hexadecimal values
 133       (precede the value with <replaceable>0x</replaceable>).
 134       The maximum value of the regular and
 135       long numeric parameters is machine-dependent.
