I've added new line to /etc/passwd and to /etc/master.passwd but nothing happened :( Seems to me these two files are not read at all ! I still get that root's name is Charlie Roor although I've changed "Charlie Root" in /etc/master.passwd to "El Commendante" - finger still claims it's "Charlie ":( What should I do now ? Do: pwd_mkdb /etc/master.passwd
