could someone explain (or point me to some docs on) how user information is stored in 2.2R? Even if I put the appropriate lines in /etc/passwd *and* /etc/master.passwd, they don't seem to be effective. The only way that I have been able to make this work is by using adduser. I don't understand this. Why can't I just use good old /etc/passwd? What other magic place is this info stored?
