Many of us end up editing /etc/passwd and /etc/group, with nothing
more elaborate than vi. There could be a lint tool (like weblint,
etc.) just for the purpose of checking the integrity of these files.
Perhaps one exists, and it's even right under my nose.
But I haven't found it yet.
Thanks for your thoughts, Dirk. They're appreciated.
