<h1><a name="description">DESCRIPTION</a></h1>
<p>This program is used to change the password of a list of virtual
users. The list is read from standard input.
Each line in the list contains the user's name and new pass phrase,
seperated by whitespace.
It will attempt to change the password for each listed user.
If any step fails, a warning is issued and processing continues with
the next line.
Any input folling the password is ignored.</p>

<p>You must have either created the users subdirectory by hand or run the
<em>vsetup</em> program before using this program.</p>
<p>This program expects the environment variable <code>HOME</code> to be set, and
executes a change directory to the contents of it before starting. It
is also required that you change user to the domain owner before using
these utilities.</p>
