Editing the /etc/passwd file

Although using the Account Manager is preferred for adding and maintaining users and groups, administrators accustomed to editing /etc/passwd directly can continue to do so by running creatiadb(1M) after closing the file. This command ensures that the trusted facility database files are in agreement with the /etc/passwd file.
