63c88e9c80 Add new option to chpass: -e "expire" ; change the account expire time
from a script as if it was done in the interactive editor.

When reassembling the gecos string, trim any excess trailing commas, they
look ugly in the passwd file. :-)

Have a simple Makefile tweak to prevent mortal users from changing their
fullname.  As ISP's we have seem some real bizzare stuff here..

When decoding the change/expire string, allow the month number as a
synonym for the name of the month.. (ie: 1 as well as Jan or January)
Note that using numbers means there's a chance that you can get bitten
if you're not used to the American DD-MM-YY order.

a43b54f67a Somewhere along the line, somebody decided to make the 'full name' field
restricted. Am I the only one who sees the absurdity of having chfn be
a link to chpass, and then denying users permission to use chpass to
change their full names?

Of course, chpass has a much more severe bug in it, which is that it
allows users to change their password database info without first
asking them for their password. I hope to fix this at some point
so that I can merge ypchpass, ypchfn, ypchsh and chpass into one
program (password authentication is required for changing NIS data).
