base-passwd for DEBIAN
----------------------

This package supplies the "master" copies of /etc/passwd and /etc/group, in
/usr/share/base-passwd.  It also supplies the utility "update-passwd", which
automatically makes sure that uid's 0-99 on your system are consistant 
with the Debian master copies.

TODO for update-passwd:

Make update-passwd smarter.  If a uid/gid is moved (as opposed to removed),
it should go through the file system and do a chmod on everything currently
assigned to that id.  (NOTE:  This is much harder than you think!)

The following uid/gid pairs have been allocated in the static range
60000-64999.  They are created by their respective packages, and are listed
here for reference.

63434:63434   netplan (netplan)
64000:64000   ftn (fidogate, ifmail, brinkley?)
