m sorry if ppl see this mail for the second time, but I never saw
 appearing on the list.

root@hades# wc master.passwd
   11557   33770  969713 master.passwd

The second pwd_mkdb is the new one.
I am looking for some people that like to test these. Why? Because
I'm not sure how it will affect disk usage of the db files, though
I really doubt it will change much.
The database format itsself does not change so it's downward compatible.

Further, the speed improvement cannot be achived when using vipw. 
The others are okay.
