mkpasswd and mkgroup don't create an Everyone entry since August 2002. The remaining problem is the special handling of root. I guess it's best to create the /etc/group entry already in mkgroup. For mkpasswd it might be best, to add a special handling like this: If a Windows user "root" exists, give it the uid 0.
