	Del manual de getpwent:

>...
>	 The  getpwent()  function returns a pointer to a structure
>        containing  the  broken  out  fields  of   a   line   from
>        /etc/passwd.   The  first time it is called it returns the
>        first entry; thereafter, it returns successive entries.
> 
>        The setpwent() function rewinds the file  pointer  to  the
>        beginning of the /etc/passwd file.
> 
>        The endpwent() function closes the /etc/passwd file.
>... 

	De modo que esas llamadas no sirven para modificar la tabla de
passwords. Solo son una manera correcta de leerla.

						Gracias de todas formas.
