This indeed applies to Debian's passwd(1) man page. Tomasz, what you
have in your CVS upstream seems slightly different. I attach to this
mail the diff between current passwd.1 in your CVS and the one in
Debian. Given its size, you probably need to examine it before
applying...:-)



Thanks, Simon, for the patch. We will probably use this occasion to get
both versions of this man page synced again.
