Script for mailing /etc/passwd information

Hi,

As said. There is nothing to be changed in the script. Once you choose
'yes', it will not ask you again when the script is run the next time as the
same user. But make sure you run this script as the same user. If not, the
question is asked again. If this script is intended to run as a scheduler
(Cron job) then you will have to run this script as the user who has
assigned this cron job.

If this is causing issues, you can use mail application (the uncommented
part in the script).

Regards,

Kurian Thayil.
