comments in /eetc/passwd and group

[Trent Shipley]

If you have a lab computer you could experiment.


Save passd to passd.bak or whatever.


Alter the file to include comments.


Test by trying to log into another account on another virtual terminal
or x session.


If you fail you still have a good session to swap the files back.
