- _V_i_p_w edits the password file while setting the appropriate
- locks, and does any necessary processing after the password
- file is unlocked. If the password file is already being
- edited, then you will be told to try again later. The _v_i
- editor will be used unless the environment variable EDITOR
- indicates an alternate editor. _V_i_p_w performs a number of
- consistency checks on the password entry for _r_o_o_t, and will
- not allow a password file with a ``mangled'' root entry to
- be installed.
