vipw(1M)                         DG/UX R4.11                        vipw(1M)


NAME
       vipw - edit the system password file

SYNOPSIS
       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.

FILES
       /etc/ptmp
