Index: etc/sa.c 2.10BSD
Description:
if you have the account of nobody::-2:-2: ....
sa will complain that every account with a uid > 7 is
preposterous.
Repeat-By:
create the account
nobody:Nologin:-2:-2:anonymous NFS user:/:
then run sa.
Your line numbers may be somewhat different if the earlier
patch to fix a conflict with the shadow password file
hasn't been applied.
