Hmm.  I can see a lot of problems on the list with this.  Actually, I think
we're already seeing problems posted to the list based on this problem.  Since
this is a new feature, it might be best served with the default being nontsec
in all cases.  Then if ntsec is set and the proper /etc/passwd and /etc/group
files don't exist give a nice fat error with instructions of where to look for
the documentation for the proper use of ntsec and abort.

I'll try it, when I get a chance.  And, thank-you for the attempts to fix.
