Avahi is current.

"passwd" has been replaced by the combination of "passwd-core" and
separate passwd-plugin packages, so my instructions below should

1) remove the old passwd and replace it with the passwd-core and
passwd-avahi.

2) install appropriate new passwd-plugin packages for any packages that
wanted just "passwd" on 10.6
