Subject: ftpgroups perl script available.

Out of necessity and not knowing if one already existed I wrote a Perl
(vers 5.001) script to change/add passwords to the ftpgroups file.  It can
be retrieved at mintaka.iern.disa.mil.  The name is 'ftpgrp' and is in
/pub.  Rudimentary testing has been done and it appears to work as
intended but modifications/improvements may be necessary or desired.  So
use at your own risk. 

Synopsis:

	ftpgrp group realgroup

Prompts for password with a retype request.

If group and realgroup are present, the password is changed.

If they are not, then a new entry is created and appended to the file.

A temporary file is used during modification.
