\fBvipw\fR

and

\fBvigr\fR
|

will edit the files
|

\fI/etc/passwd\fR
|
|
and
|
|
\fI/etc/group\fR, respectively. With the
|
|
\fB\-s\fR

flag, they will edit the shadow versions of those files,
|
|
\fI/etc/shadow\fR
|
|
and
|
|
\fI/etc/gshadow\fR, respectively. The programs will set the appropriate locks to prevent file corruption. When looking for an editor, the programs will first try the environment variable
|
|
\fB$VISUAL\fR, then the environment variable
|
|
\fI$EDITOR\fR, and finally the default editor,
|
|
\fBvi\fR(1).
