Only update the record for the specified user. Utilities that
operate on a single user can use this option to avoid the
overhead of rebuilding the entire database.
.It Fl s Ar cachesize
Specify in megabytes the size of the memory cache used by the
hashing library. On systems with a large user base, a small cache
size can lead to prohibitively long database file rebuild times.
As a rough guide, the memory usage of
.Nm pwd_mkdb
in megabytes will be a little bit more than twice the figure
specified here. The default is 2 megabytes.

The two databases differ in that the secure version contains the user's
