Kevin,

As of recent versions (don't remember the exact one, but definitely before
1.3.22), the "Everyone" group is *not* added to /etc/passwd by default by
the mkpasswd utility.  If this presents a problem for some applications
(imapd?), Corinna and Pierre should know about this (if only to tell us
that it's a bug in imapd).  I'm reposting this with a clearer subject to
bring it to their attention.
	Igor
