Hi, 
I have 2 questions about the /etc/master.passwd file,

1) should accounts 'daemon, 'operator, 'games, 'ingres have valid shells?
My daily insecurity output tells me they shouldn't, but this is the default
by netbsd.

2) xscreensaver can't find passwd. I know netbsd uses shadow passwd, but
is it impossible for a program/user to get the passwd string?

David
