sorted /etc/passwd?

[David Sherman]

I have just added over 1000 accounts for our students, and we
now have 1526 entries in our /etc/passwd, on a Perkin-Elmer 3220
running v7. Should I consider sorting them and using a binary
search? Does anyone have versions of getpw{nam,ent,uid} and anything
else which would need changing, to implement a binary search?
