Readme file for passwd.
This program is Copyright (C) 1994,1995 Alun Jones, auj@aber.ac.uk
It is freeware, which means you can copy it freely, on the condition that
you don't charge more than a nominal fee for the distribution media. You're
welcome to make changes to the source code, recompile it, or whatever. I'd
like to keep track of any interesting additions, and am happy to receive bug
reports.
Instructions for passwd
Passwd changes your password in the /etc/passwd file. It has the same
UnixLib requirements as documented in the login documentation.
To change your password, simply login and type passwd. The program will then
prompt you for your current password (to prevent other people from changing
it) and for your new password twice (to ensure that you don't mis-type the
new password). It will then alter your entry in the /etc/passwd file.
