nispasswd -f if you're running NIS+, nicely ask root to edit /etc/passwd
if not.

I have a chfn/chsh program that I modified to work on Solaris 2.x
if you do not run NIS/NIS+. I make now claims as to how secure it
is. It is based on code from Comp.Sources.Unix. I've had it in
a student environment now for over two years without problems.
