ahhh, that's scary. i was going to switch to using this, but i think i'll
stay with vigr and vipw for now :). vigr and vipw are better than just
editing the files directly since they protect against concurrent editing
of the relevant files.
one thing that i noticed about vigr, it does not keep group and group-
synchronized. this doesn't matter much since group takes precedence.
but it's confusing.
