Okay, I tried to use mkpasswd as Mark suggested. Here's what I see now:
$ grep lwv27 /etc/passwd
$ grep lwv2 /etc/passwd
lwv27:unused:14338:13710:Virden, Larry W.,U-CAS\lwv27,S-1-5-21-15812936-299453970-766854361-4338:/home/lwv27:/bin/bash
$ ls /home/lwv27
ls: cannot access /home/lwv27: No such file or directory
$ ls /home
