Can't think of anything...

Yes. Umm... it's been quite a while since I worked with FreeBSD &
related. Should it be /etc/passwd or /etc/master.passwd that's locked, or
both (trying for an exclusive lock?)? I'm thinking the appropriate place to
find the filename(s) is in pwd.ph if it exists, and /usr/include/pwd.h if it
doesn't:
#define _PATH_PWD "/etc"
#define _PATH_PASSWD "/etc/passwd"
#define _PASSWD "passwd"
#define _PATH_MASTERPASSWD "/etc/master.passwd"
#define _MASTERPASSWD "master.passwd"
Thanks,
