When doing that, there is merit in running pwck before any powerdown/reboot, 
as any illegality in a line stopped processing of all following when I
last tried mucking it up. (A good reason for the root entry to be first.)

And for vigr there's grpck.

That's all we had in the decades before the newfangled useradd stuff
came along.
