DESCRIPTION
	passwd   changes   a  password  or  full  name  (-f  option)
	associated  with  the  user username. 

	When  changing  a  password,  passwd  prompts  for  the  old
	password  and  then  for the new one.  You must supply both,
	and  the  new  password  must  be  typed  twice to forestall
	mistakes.

	New  passwords  should  be at least five characters long, if
	they  combine upper-case and lower-case letters, or at least
	six  characters  long if in monocase.  Users that persist in
	entering passwords will be accepted.

	Only  the  owner  of  the name or the superuser may change a
	password;  the  owner  must prove he knows the old password.

	When  changing a full name, passwd displays the current full
	name,  enclosed between brackets, and prompts for a new full
	name. If you type a RETURN, the full name is not changed. If
	the  full  name  is to be made blank, you must type the word
	"none".

	The  superuser  may  change anyone's full name; normal users
	may only change their own.

	When  you  request  the  user's data, passwd displays user's
	login  name,  full  name,  home  directory, user level, last
	login,  and  quota.   Then  passwd  informs whether user has
	unread  mail,  and if so, when is it last arrived at.  After
	that  users  .project and .plan files are showd, if they are
	available.

	With  the  -q  option  you  can  change  user quotas.  Unset
	defaults to 50M.

	Priviledges  can be changed with the -p option followed with
	the user name we are changing.

	A time limit can be set with -t option. The time limit is used
	in a per-day, not per-call basis.

	Users  can be added with -a option, but you MUST remember to
	create the home directory for the user.
