The following reply was made to PR docs/2978; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Phillip Musumeci <phillip@pm.cse.rmit.edu.au> To: joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: docs/2978: "man 5 passwd" suggests use of a shell script for (INSECURE) messaging Date: Fri, 14 Mar 1997 09:58:32 +1100 (EST) OK (I just had a look for the "-p" switch but couldn't see it). I guess I was reacting to this suggestion in the man page from the point of view of a sunos user of years gone by, where we treated shell script replacements for an actual shell as something not much different to a normal shell (from an access point of view). Sorry to cause any worries. phillip
