Editing fields in /etc/passwd

[David E. Nelson]

Hi All,

Looking through 'editfiles', I'm not seeing an easy way to edit a single field 
in /etc/passwd - I need to change the primary group for one account.  I can't 
just replace the entire line since the Gecos and home dir aren't consistent 
across systems.  Any ideas?

It'd be nice if there was an edit command that used a sed-like syntax that 
allowed backreferences.

Thanks,
         /\/elson
