Does adduser, rpc.yppasswd, pw, vipw, and passwd synchronize with each other correctly? Is it safe to use any or all 4 of the above mentioned programs simultaneously? I know you can not run more than one copy of adduser at once but that's easily fixed by putting a lockf wrapper around it. What about the others? Thanks, Tim
