Manpages UPDATE\-PASSWDSection: Maintenance Commands (8)Updated: Debian tools Index Return to Main Contents NAMEupdate-passwd - safely update /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and /etc/groupSYNOPSISupdate-passwd [options]DESCRIPTIONupdate-passwd handles updates of /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and /etc/group on running Debian systems. It compares the current files to master copies, distributed in the base-passwd package, and updates all entries in the global system range (that is, 0-99).OPTIONSupdate-passwd follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-').
BUGSAt this moment update-passwd does not verify the shadow-file. It should check if the entries in the passwd are also in shadow and vica versa, and that passwords are not present in both files.AUTHORWichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>This program was written for the Debian project, and is Copyright 1999-2002 Wichert Akkerman.
