If you're doing this to synch passwords across servers all you need
to copy is /etc/master.passwd and /etc/group I copy ours to a holding
directory and then have cron run this as root from the holding area.
if [ -f group ]
then
mv group /etc
fi
if [ -f master.passwd ]
then
if /usr/sbin/pwd_mkdb -c master.passwd
then
chmod 600 master.passwd
mv master.passwd /etc
/usr/sbin/pwd_mkdb -p /etc/master.passwd
fi
fi
