>Description:
	It is not possible to put SIP URLs like "sip:19081@fwd.pulver.com" in
	the phone field of the GECOS information. This should be allowed,
	because such URLs are used for Voice over IP.
>How-To-Repeat:
	When attempting to use a colon in the phone field, chfn gives the
	following message:
	chfn: illegal character in the "office phone" field
	re-edit the password file? [y]:
>Fix:
	Since the GECOS information is stored in the passwd file, where colons
	are used as delimiters, some means of quoting or encoding the colon
	will be necessary.
