		  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
