Title:
  Showing the username in passwd

Status in shadow package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm using Ubuntu 13.04 dev with passwd 1:4.1.4.2+svn3283-3ubuntu7. If
  I'm entering the command passwd I will get the output "Enter new UNIX
  password:" and "Retype new UNIX password:". For example if the command
  is running from a script it is not possible to know for which user the
  password changes are made. It would be easier to have an output like
  "Enter new UNIX password for root:" and "Retype new UNIX password for
  root:".
