I haven't done an assignment.  I figured this was a trivial change.  If you
want one I'll go ahead and send one in.

Here's a new Changelog....

2001-11-09  Mark Bradshaw  <bradshaw@staff.crosswalk.com>

	* mkpasswd.c: Add an option (-u) to only display a selected user.

Better?  I looked in the Changelog and modeled the new one after the few on
top, but I saw lots down below that used the same formatting I did.
