[net.unix-wizards] password editor query

geoff (06/01/82)

I'm working on a ``password editor'' which maintains /etc/passwd and
/etc/group.  Does anyone have experience with this kind of editor or
know what they would like in one? Would you use one?

We've been using it here since October 1981 and find it useful for
adding accounts for courses of students, for the validation it performs
and for the automatic maintenance of /etc/group.

Please reply by mail; I'll summarize if there is interest.
