	(Why does the default for this field show up with the 0x80
	bit set on each character?  Weird.  Must investigate someday.)

>Description:
	pwd_mkdb(8) says, correctly, that it installs its databases
	into /etc/spwd.db, /etc/pwd.db, and /etc/master.passwd, in the
	first paragraph.  But under FILES it names /var/db/pwd.db and
	/var/db/spwd.db, which are much more sensible places but do not
	match reality.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Run "man pwd_mkdb" and compare the paths listed under FILES
	with the first paragraph, and with reality (in the form of
	_PATH_MP_DB and _PATH_SMP_DB in /usr/include/pwd.h or
	/usr/src/include/pwd.h, or what gets modified by running
	pwd_mkdb).
