I'm runing FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE

and after installing courier imapd and running

su-2.05# sbin/pw2userdb | grep test test uid=1013|gid=1014|home=/home/test|shell=/sbin/nologin|systempw=*|gecos=test 1013= test su-2.05#

and unless i do a symbol link from /etc/master.passwd to /etc/shadow my systempw appears as * and i can't logon onto imapd

how would i fix that? i create this /etc/shadow file on permanent basis but someone told me that this is a security risk even though it's just a symbol link and it links to file with normal permitions for /etc/master.passwd (/etc/shadow)
