I suspect you will find it behaves in much the same way on all Unix
like operating systems, unless caching is used or /etc/passwd has been
replaced with a db file or database (do any OS do this by default?).
Unfortunately, like it or not, many people have seen it as a de-facto
standard - if this is a defacto standard we want to preserve or not is
another matter.
