+NAME passwd -- password file
+.sp
+.ti 0
+DESCRIPTION passwd______
+contains for each user the
+following information:
+
+ name (login name, contains no upper case)
+ encrypted password
+ numerical user ID
+ GCOS job number and box number
+ initial working directory
+ program to use as Shell
+
+This is an ASCII file. Each field within each user's entry
+is separated from the next by a colon.
+The job and box numbers are separated by a comma.
+Each user is separated from the next by a new-line.
+If the password field is null, no password is demanded;
+if the Shell field is null, the Shell itself
+is used.
+
+This file resides in directory /etc.
+Because of the encrypted
+passwords, it can and does have general read
+permission and can be used, for example,
+to map numerical user ID's to names.
