The installation of password and group will not work:
-----------------------------------------------------
Under Windows NT, if you want to create /etc/passwd and /etc/group
(i.e. so ls -l replaces the UID with a name) just do this:
/$ cd /etc
/etc$ mkpasswd > /etc/passwd
/etc$ mkgroup > /etc/group
--------------------------------------------------
I think you should insert the -l Option like
/etc$ mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd
/etc$ mkgroup -l > /etc/group
I do not know wheter or not this bug is already reported.
