What I implemented in CVS now: passwd only: -l unprefixed, -L prefixed passwd, db: -l/-L local machine depends on nsswitch.conf, for other machines -l/-L behave as with passwd only. db: ditto. mkpasswd/mkgroup are used in scripts to fetch account info, not necessarily to create passwd/group, so I don't want it to fail in "db" mode. I also changed the wording of the help text to describe the -l behaviour in more detail.
