if you compare "/etc/shadow" to "/etc/shadow.rpmnew" when it is there,
you will see that yum/rpm has added a program's name to "/etc/shadow"
when yum/rpm adds a new program that needs to be assigned an id.
this also happens to "/etc/group", "/etc/gshadow", and "/etc/passwd".
why "/etc/shadow.rpmnew" was removed is hard to answer.

to mess up a linux box, you need to work at it.
to mess up an ms windows box, you just need to *look* at it.

The installation instructions stated to install Windows 2000 or better.
So I installed Linux.
