Well, my machine is totally local with respect to NetInfo; I don't
share the database with any other NeXT machines.  All the users I've
added were added either with the user manager or with "niload passwd .
< file".  It's true, "nidump passwd ." and "nidump passwd /" both give
me the same password file.  What can I do about this?  I don't want
users' entries to show up twice when a user is fingered.
