You people are great!
So far I have recieved 3 very good ways to do this
1. use a command called "usermod" the man page walks you through this one.

2. use /usr/sbin/vipw, here is good example from Paul A Sand
#!/usr/bin/ksh
EDITOR=/bin/ed
export EDITOR
/usr/sbin/vipw <<xxxFUNNYxxx
/^pwc/s^homeg^auth/users^
w
q
xxxFUNNYxxx
3. awk -F: '{ if (substr($1,1,3) == "pwc") printf
"%s:%s:%s:%s:%s:/auth/users/%s:%s\n", $1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $1, %7; else print
$0 }' < old-password > new-password # this one came from Allen

I feel like a kid in a candy store, thanks to all
