I don't hate unix, though the only one that supports most vaxen completely
at this time is Ultrix... but NetBSD is catching up fast.

As to the second sysuaf.dat... common, the breakin procesure has you set a
pointer to a default one that is there.

FYI: Cutler designed RSX the basis of VMS and then he went to MS to
promote BS... ;) Now you know why the security sorta looks similar.
