While in User Accounts, I wrote a bunch of Moira clients to do
specific tasks such as this one. They're all in /mit/accounts/src.
Vax versions have been built in the vax_bsd43 directory, but I guess I
never got around to building them all for the rt.
One such program was 'upuser' which takes two usernames and updates
the record for the first username with the lastname, firstname,
middle, MIT ID, and class of second username. See
/mit/accounts/man/man1/upuser.1 for more info.
