<para>

<command>vipw</command> and <command>vigr</command> will edit the
|
|
files <filename>/etc/passwd</filename> and
|
|
<filename>/etc/group</filename>, respectively. With the
|
|
<option>-s</option> flag, they will edit the shadow versions of those
|
|
files, <filename>/etc/shadow</filename> and
|
|
<filename>/etc/gshadow</filename>, respectively. The programs will set
|
|
the appropriate locks to prevent file corruption. When looking for an
|
|
editor, the programs will first try the environment variable
|
|
<envar>$VISUAL</envar>, then the environment variable
|
|
<emphasis>$EDITOR</emphasis>, and finally the default editor,
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>vi</refentrytitle>
