-The databases actually contain three copies of the original data.
-Each password file entry is converted into a rough approximation of a
-``struct passwd'', with the strings placed inline.
-This object is then stored as the data for three separate keys.
-The first key is the pw_name field prepended by the _PW_KEYBYNAME character.
-The second key is the pw_uid field prepended by the _PW_KEYBYUID character.
-The third key is the line number in the original file prepended by the
-_PW_KEYBYNUM character.
-(The special characters are prepended to ensure that the keys do not
-collide.)
