I've been thinking about this ... why isn't passwd or pw in /sbin or
/bin??
The scenerio becomes even more of a pain if there are vinum volumes,
(/usr for example) since vinum doesn't start in single user mode. so you
can't just "mount" /usr.

I'm considering copying passwd to /bin on any systems I have that have
vinum /usr drives. Can anyone see potential problems with this?
