in reply to Text file (Passwd file) record editing

I can't add much to what's already been posted except that you should use code tags where appropriate in your submission. E.G.,
<code>
John Smith|mypassword|4/23/67
lisal Slks|passwd|872/24/123
</code>
You will get more timely responses and your posts will be approved much more quickly since they won't have to be edited first. This information is covered in Site How To.
