Default kuser does not update /etc/shadow

I used kuser to add a couple of uses. It did not make entries in /etc/shadow,
although it did issue a warning to me.

Is there a way to make kuser add entries to /etc/shadow? What are the steps to
fix the existing /etc/shadow file? I ran passwd for both of the users, which
changed their passwd, but did not make an /etc/shadow entry either.

Thanks,

~S
