Description Domas Mituzas 2001-03-14 11:00:01 UTC 
If there are a lot of users in system password database (/etc/master.passwd),
full regeneration is real resource hog. pwd_mkdb allows to specify user
entry to be added or changed, thus by eliminating need of full regeneration.
Anyway, adduser is using old style syntax. It would be nice to have all
utils up-to-date to current system design.

pw command already uses new syntax.

How-To-Repeat: 
Try to make huuuge /etc/master.passwd and then use adduser to add an
account for your favourite singer. :)
