passwd.N is the SGI version of the file; inst leaves it there so that
you can merge it.  We actually had both entries in our 6.[23] passwd,
but removed the duplicate for 6.5 because pwconv didn't like it.

Not sure what happened here.  The entry is in /srvd/etc/services,
and the 8.3.0 update adds /etc/services to $CONFCHG.  Do you have a
services.old?
