   Hi all,
   I'm, trying to set up new account on my FreeBSD 1.1.5.1. I've added
   new line to /etc/passwd and to /etc/master.passwd but nothing happened :(
   Seems to me these two files are not read at all ! I still get that root's name 
   is Charlie Roor although I've changed "Charlie Root" in /etc/master.passwd
   to "El Commendante" - finger still claims it's "Charlie ":( 
   What should I do now ?

Do:

	pwd_mkdb /etc/master.passwd
