These are fixed-- this might be a problem if different
domains are configured to use different unix users, though
I suppose it's always possible to fix that with group
writableness.

... but it must be in /etc/passwd format, not /etc/shadow
format, on machines where those are different. I guess
that's not many nowadays.

This all looks pretty plausible and I'm happy to include
it in tpop3d. I guess it's a bit leaner than implementing
it in perl....

I take it that you're happy for it to be included in the
distribution?
