A quick look at src/usr.bin/passwd/passwd.c seems to show that the -u
option is only valid for a YP && KERBEROS build of passwd(1). If you
have customized your /etc/make.conf to *not* include MAKE_KERBEROS4=3Dyes,
your passwd(1) will not recognize -u.
Apparently, releases are built with support for both krb4 and krb5, thus
the passwd(1) binary in the official release will recognize -u.
G'luck,
Peter
