What I implemented in CVS now:
passwd only: -l unprefixed, -L prefixed
passwd, db: -l/-L local machine depends on nsswitch.conf,
for other machines -l/-L behave as with passwd only.
db: ditto.
mkpasswd/mkgroup are used in scripts to fetch account info, not
necessarily to create passwd/group, so I don't want it to fail in
"db" mode.
I also changed the wording of the help text to describe the -l
behaviour in more detail.
