Hello Tomasz,

I've made a diff between the debian's passwd.1 and yours.
After removing formatting differences (lines rewrapping, some hyphen to
minus conversions, ...), here is the diff (attached).

NOTE: The diff is not for being applied. It is just in order to check if
you can use this german translation as the translation of your man page.

The diff is quite small, so you can probably include it as the German
translation of your passwd.1 page.
The diff in the FILES and EXIT VALUES sections are not important IMO
(maybe we can also ask for a translation of these sections).

I'm not at ease with the first part of the diff.
I've not checked if it is due to one of the manpages being outdated,
of in there is really a difference in the code.


BTW, in your passwd.1, there is a small typo:
the '-' in \s-2UNIX\s+2 should not be replaced by '\-' (\s-2 means that
UNIX should be written in a smaller font; this does nothing on a terminal,
but can be useful for PS or HTML man pages).
