 Changes an account.

 The -p, -g, and -o options identify the account to change. The -np,
 -ng, and -no options change the account's, principal, group, and
 organization, respectively.

 If you do not specify all three -p, -g, and -o options, wildcard
 updates can occur.  For example, if you specify only the -g option,
 the changes affect all accounts that are associated with the named
 group.  Note that you cannot use wildcarding to change passwords.
 To change a password, you must enter the -p, -g, and -o options.

 All other options have the same meaning as described in the add
 command for accounts.  Note that the -rp option can be used to
 change the random passwords of the reserved accounts created by
 sec_create_db when the registry database is created.
