  47 (\fI-a username\fR), change existing accounts (\fIusername\fR),
  48 or delete accounts (\fI-x username\fR) in the digest password
  49 file. Digest usernames do not have to match local UNIX usernames.

  55 Specifies a group other than the default system group.
  56 .SH SECURITY ISSUES
  57 The \fIlppasswd\fR command is installed setuid to root. While
  58 every attempt has been made to make it secure against exploits
  59 that could grant super-user privileges to unprivileged users,
  60 paranoid system administrators may wish to disable or change the
  61 ownership of the program to an unprivileged account.
