    If I wanted to synchronize the local passwd databases on a bunch
of FreeBSD machines (not the NIS records), what is the best way of
doing this?  Is this recommended (or even possible)?  So far I've been
using an rdist script to distribute the pwd.db, spwd.db, master.passwd
and passwd files to all the machines.  Do I risk corrupting in-core
structures this way?
