Though the end results maybe the same, we now have a sed that
is running in the normal case, is not run in the exception case,
a src file that must be editted to match the distribution file,
etc.  I can not express stronly enough how much I object to this.

I have explained in your diffential that this should actually be
put back as far as inverted, and that actually bin/csh/Makefile
nor bin/sh/Makefile should never even touch etc/master.password,
simply the wrong place to be doing it.   This should be in what
ever Makefile installs /etc/master.password an no place else.
