Get system part of passwd (UID < 1000 and nobody) and save it in /etc/passwd.static 2. Instead of appending to passwd overwrite /etc/passwd.dynamic 3. cat /etc/passwd.static /etc/passwd.dynamic > /etc/passwd; pwconv Or write simple perl script. But keeping users in some central directory (like LDAP or NIS) is IMO beter idea.
