hello admins..

i got the answer..... NO ! and should NOT !

the original question was the ability of putting comments in the
/etc/passwd file.

reasons:

1.- NO
2,- don't dare
3.- password files too long make them slower.
4.- reasons 1 and 2 for about 10 times

Thanks to all the people who took the time.. :)
