	+ pwd_mkdb(8) now validates login names using the same character rules
	+ that pw(8) applies, so names containing shell metacharaters or other
	+ disallowed characters can no longer be intorduced through vipw(8),
	+ chpass(1) or a hand-edited master.passwd. pw(8) has also been changed
	+ to reject the single quote (') and backtick (`) in user and group
	+ names.
	+
	+ As a result, an existing master.passwd that already contains a login
	+ name with a now-disallowed character will cause every pwd_mkdb(8) run
	+ to fail with "invalid login name", which in turn blocks passwd(1),
	+ chpass(1) and pw(8) until the offneding name is correcetd. The
	+ disallowed characters are whitespace, control and 8-bit characters,
	+ and any of

	+
	+ a leading '-' is also rejected. A single trailing '$' remains
	+ permited for Samba machine accounts, and the NIS compatibilty
	+ prefixes (a leading '+' or '-', optionally followed by '@') are still
	+ allowed. Review /etc/master.passwd and rename any affected acconuts
	+ before updating the password database.
