This is so that it is easy for the sysadmin to do the }locking necessary to ensure that updates do not get lost. vipw is encluded in util-linux. (latest version 2.5, 2.6 will be a havily improved package) In the util-linux package actually there is no vigr included. But for some reason I work on this. Perhaps it would be a good idea if the miscutils maintainer (I don't know who that is) could contact me then.
