* With shadow now running pwconv after commit 7c5f81b2139e55622ca2f23ff6b63438d4825d87
  It converts :*: passwd entry into equivalent /etc/shadow entry :*:
  which in shadow means disable the account as per
  http://tldp.org/LDP/lame/LAME/linux-admin-made-easy/shadow-file-formats.html
  As a result root can not login unless one boots into shell and then
  resets the password.
