[Pkg-shadow-devel] improvement of chfn/chsh manpages

[Alexander Gattin]

Hi, Tomasz!

I have fixed a typo in chsh.1.xml
and added chsh(1) to SEE ALSO section of chfn.1.xml
(diff attached).

Also I have a question -- how do you have chfn/chsh
operating in PLD for ordinary users -- do they ask for
users' password or not?

In Debian, chsh and chfn of 4.0.3 used to _ask_
ordinary users for password:
> ramazan at cherokee:~/shadow/svn/pkg-shadow/trunk$ chsh -s /bin/zsh
> Password: 
with new code they won't.

We should decide whether to keep old behavior for
Debian's passwd by patching or maybe perform
pam-ification on chfn/chsh?
