By "Unix passwd(5) files" I meant files in passwd(5) format, not files 
used by passwd(1). The poppassd suggestion makes me think you were 
conflating the two, perhaps?

However, I was also imprecise (sorry). Htpasswd's file format appears to 
be derived from passwd(5), but it only includes the first two fields, 
and afaict all fields in passwd(5) files are required.

True dat! Not touching passwd(1).
