NAME
       Passwd - tied hash and DBI access to passwd files

SYNOPSIS
	use AnyData;
	my $users = adTie( 'Passwd', '/etc/passwd' );
	print $users->{jdoe}->{homedir};
	# ... other tied hash operations

	OR

	use DBI
	my $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:AnyData:');
	$dbh->func('users','Passwd','/etc/passwd','ad_catalog');
	my $g7 = $dbh->selectall_arrayref( qq{
	    SELECT username, homedir FROM users WHERE GID = '7'
	});
	# ... other DBI/SQL operations

DESCRIPTION
       This module provides a tied hash interface and a DBI/SQL interface to passwd files.  Simply specify the format as 'Passwd' and give the
       name of the file and the modules will build a hash table with the column names

	username
	passwd
	UID
	GID
	fullname
	homedir
	shell

       The username field is treated as a key column.

       This module is a submodule of the AnyData.pm and DBD::AnyData.pm modules.  Refer to their documentation for further details.
