Not to hijack this thread, but you really don't want to merge
those two files. You want to merge the master.passwd files, then do
'pwd_mkdb -p' to rebuild your databases and /etc/passwd file. The latest
version of mergemaster (avail. in the ports) does this for you, and
reminds you to do the pwd_mkdb at the end.
HTH,
