The major change in this new release is the new method to read account
(passwd and group) information from the Windows user databases directly,
without the requirement to generate /etc/passwd and /etc/group files to
generate Unix-like uid and gid.
Does it mean that the users with /etc/{passwd,group} files have to
rename them [*] before its installation TO TEST the new functionality?
Thanks,
Angelo.
