SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       The command installs or appends with information from or checks for any discrepancies between the contents of the two files.

       The command without options does the following:

	      1.  Creates the file if it does not exist; otherwise, it removes all entries for usernames which are not present in
	      2.  For  each  entry  in	move  the encrypted password and aging information to Entries in which have no encrypted password or aging
		  information will not overwrite information in
	      3.  Writes an "x" in each password field of the file, to indicate that the password and aging information reside in the file.

       The command relies on a special value of "x" in the password field of A value different from "x" will prompt to move the password and aging
       information into the corresponding fields of and then replace the password field in with an "x".

       If  no  aging information exists in for a user, none will be added to However, the last change field, which indicates when the password was
       last modified, will always be updated (default is current date).  See shadow(4).

	      Successful completion.
