I have a good work around that I have been playing with.  Knock on 
wood, it works for ME.  I will make this single claim.  DO THIS AT 
YOUR OWN RISK.  If you follow the steps, it SHOULD work just fine.

What does it do?  It converts the password database back to a flat 
file instead of keeping it in the DB format.

It will also modify the BlueQuartz backend so that it writes to the 
/etc/passwd file as well.

Remember .. DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.  If you attempt it, you release 
NuOnce Networks, Inc. from any and all liability.

Thanks!
