I am still not convinced it is a good idea to split passwd in multiple files, besides potentially affecting applications and backup tools and custom scripts. - How do you deal with conflicts ? - What happen when an admin legitimately just use vipw and adds a system user in /etc/passwd instead of one of the other 2 you mention ? - How do you propose to resolve users from multiple files ? - Are you going to introduce new nss modules ? - Are you going to change pam_unix to lookup from all there files in different ways ? anything else ?
