        SYNTAX

        vipw


        DESCRIPTION

        Vipw edits the password file while setting the appropriate locks,
        and does any necessary processing after the password file is
        unlocked.  If the password file is already being edited, then you
        will be told to try again later.  The vi editor will be used
        unless the environment variable EDITOR indicates an alternate
        editor.  Vipw performs a number of consistency checks on the
        password entry for root, and will not allow a password file with
        a ``mangled'' root entry to be installed.
