Possibly the difference vipw makes is that it updates your shadow
file, if you have one. While I'm all in favour of 'smart' interfaces
like vipw, it's as well to know what's going on in the background as
well. So, check /etc/shadow (if it exists) to see if your useraccount
is mentioned there without the $.
Cheers,
