I seem to recall that there is some sort of stub that will let one execute a script which runs at the last stage of the boot process but I can't seem to remember enough to look it up. I need to run a small script to do pwd_mkdb just once to sync the passwd data base after booting a 8.1 system for the first time. The system is being built via script and /etc/master.passwd has a couple of accounts that the data base doesn't know about. After running pwd_mkdb against /etc/master.passwd, all is well but we are locked out of the system until this happens. I may even make the script destroy itself after launching since it never needs to run after that one time. Thanks.
