I was able to overwrite the settings for the `default' class, which 
happens to be my login class, and was able to get master.passwd to 
print... This was 4.x though, not CURRENT, so maybe this is something that 
wasn't affected in CURRENT, and that's what you're referring to, or 
something.

Note that I wasn't really posting this comment this late in the thread, 
but my MTA decided to queue it for an obscenely long time.

Sorry.

I definitely agree about this, 5.x is going to be enough of a major change as
it is, and confusing _everything_ with even more big changes can't do any
good in the short term, and would probably make KSE (and other things) a big
hassle to the point of where they wouldn't be of any use until 6.x anyway.

But that's just my opinion, and I'm sure I'll get smacked for it.

The only person I've ever talked to from the CIA was in charge of network 
security to some degree, and according to him they can't even use FreeBSD, 
OpenBSD, or NetBSD internally. Everything must come from a central vendor 
and be supported by a real company, not by mailing lists.

I'd call that less lax.
