Outstanding. My script has already been written,
tested, and installed, and works like a million bucks
(based mainly on chpass, with some other custom stuff
thrown in), but I never knew about pw. I wish I had,
because the man page (section 8) indicates it's exactly
what I was looking for. Now I'll have to stop and take
a closer look at it.
