hope this is the right mailing address.

i log in daily to althea.mit.edu.  recently (after the last software
upgrade, i think), i started having problems with passwd.  the -s, -f,
and -h options are apparently no longer supported, but the man page
has not changed:

% man passwd
 (prints info on the berzerkeley version, more or less)
% passwd -f 
Usage: passwd [-name name] [-inst inst]
% which man passwd
/usr/ucb/man
/usr/athena/passwd
%
