Does DirectAdmin authenticate logins using /etc/shadow or another file?
 
How can it authenticate through /etc/passwd if /etc/passwd doesn't contain passwords?
Code:
In /etc/passwd
username:x:uid:gid:comment:homeDIR:shell
 
Yes, system wide passwords are in /etc/shadow although POP3/FTP usernames/passwords are stored in a seperate file for each domain.
