Command:   passwd, chfn, chsh - change a login password,  full  name  or

Flags:     (none)
Examples:  passwd                   # Change current user's password
           passwd ast               # Change ast's password  (super-user
                                      only)
           chsh /usr/bin/mail       # For those who only read mail
           chfn 'Jane Doe'          # Current user is Jane Doe

     Passwd is used to change your password.  It prompts for the old and
new passwords.  It asks for the new password twice, to reduce the effect
of a typing error.  Chfn changes the full  name  (GECOS  field)  in  the
password  file.   Chsh  changes your login shell.  Do not forget to copy
the modified password file back to the root file system, or the  changes
will be lost when the system is rebooted.
