Hi, the Makefile for the etc project I keep under CVS has a few handy
targets that I thought you might find useful (and maybe include in
future revs?).  The only caveat is that they may only be current
as of NetBSD-1.3 or NetBSD-1.4 --- in particular, it is my understanding
that the master.passwd format changed.
