     I got three answers. Two of which pointed me at different packages:
npasswd, and SSH. And one said why change passwd? To which I have the
following anecdote:
Admin: What's the problem?
User: How do I change my password?
Admin: Type passwd.
User: Ok. Lemme try. Nope.
Admin: How are you spelling passwd?
User: 'password'.
Admin: No it's 'passwd' just like it's pronounced.

So I want to change it because it's spelled incorrectly!!!

npasswd can be found at http://www.utexas.edu/cc/unix/software/npasswd
SSH can be found at various sites one of which is
ftp://ftp.cs.hut.fi/pub/ssh/ssh-1.2.25.tar.gz
