    if ( lsgroup -a users $vgroup | grep -q $username )
    then
    # allow operator to change this users password
    passwd $username
    else
    echo "This user is not in opergrp, no change made"
    fi

    I would then add this one particular script to sudo (/etc/sudoers) using the visudo command and adding the necessary entries.
