 Actually, there is a such corporative policy in the ISP I've taken that huge
 master.passwd for the test. The main ideas: 1) no automatic changes in the
 master.passwd 2) time to time visual check and fix of users' data in
 master.passwd (heh, column from 'master.passwd's). May be good, may be bad,
 but it exists.
