Hi.

I am having trouble adding non-athena users to my machine.
I located an adduser script in the netbsd faq that adds a user
fine. But I can't figure out how to change their password, or what the
originally added password is.  When I vipw, the password filed has
'**' in it. I have tried creating a null password with vipw, but it is
not working.... I still can't log in.

Any suggestions?
