.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
\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,

|
corruption. When looking for an editor, the programs will first try the
