In 5.4 (and probably lots of other versions), the master.passwd file
is pre-seeded with lots of accounts such as daemon, operator, and so
on. The master.passwd file looks like:
daemon:*:1:1::0:0:Owner of many system processes:/root:/usr/sbin/nologin
operator:*:2:5::0:0:System &:/:/usr/sbin/nologin
. . .
The man page for master.passwd and passwd say what an "*" in the
second field means in passwd, but not in master.passwd. Any clues
would be appreciated (and I will put in a documentation pr when I
have an answer).
