What I implemented in CVS now:

  passwd only:  -l unprefixed, -L prefixed
  passwd, db:   -l/-L local machine depends on nsswitch.conf,
  		for other machines -l/-L behave as with passwd only.
  db:           ditto.

mkpasswd/mkgroup are used in scripts to fetch account info, not
necessarily to create passwd/group, so I don't want it to fail in
"db" mode.

I also changed the wording of the help text to describe the -l
behaviour in more detail.
