Good morning Guy!

}Sorry for the null message.  Anyway, don't put this in the base
}package.  It'll be in the new passwd package (replacing parts of
}miscutils) that I'll upload in a day or two.  I used the vipw from bsd,
}and I modified it to make a vigr.

Just in case you're interested there's a vipw/vigr coming from the
util-linux package. You might want to have a look at it. Check out
ftp.infodrom.north.de/pub/Linux/Infodrom/util-linux-2.5-pl4.gz as a
patch to util-linux-2.5.tar.gz.

Regards,

	Joey
