What would you use passwd for? Multi-user isn't supported yet
(but it's coming in v0.5), so you're the only one using the device.. if
you want to change the password, it's just a matter of editing ``/etc/passwd''.
If you want to develop some tools to do it, there's no reason I couldn't
include crypt in Python.
