NetBSD spells OpenSSL's passwd.1 as openssl_passwd.1

A related topic. I thought, it was agreed to, at some point, remove our
implementations of things, OpenSSL provides, in favor of the OpenSSL's
replacements -- may be, after merging in the differences, or some such.
I'm talking primarily of the message digest library (-lmd), which is
(almost) API compatible with -lcrypto (MD5Final vs. MD5_Final).

We can definetly start that road with merging some of the man-pages...
