Synopsis: parsing of password file (username:password:extrafields) State-Changed-From-To: open-analyzed State-Changed-By: marc State-Changed-When: Thu Jun 26 11:36:55 PDT 1997 State-Changed-Why: This has been requested many times and in the past we have declined to make the change for security reasons; most people wanted it to use /etc/passwd for authentication, which is a bad idea.
We seem to have changed our minds, though, so I will see about changing this for the next release...
