One for the archives: If anyone finds their group name or username set to
"run" or "mkpasswd" or "mkgroup"...You need to do exactly that, run mkpasswd
or mkgroup to update /etc/passwd or /etc/group respectively. There's some
new detection code to let you know when your /etc/{group,passwd} file is
stale.
So Peter Canning, you will need to run mkpasswd. And to Christophe Thiebot,
you will need to run mkgroup.
I've CCd in case your not on the list ;-)
