[opensuse] /etc/passwd compulsory fields

Hi Apart from the obvious, passwd (5) doesn't say which fields are compulsory. I see that my local login is: lynn:x:1000:100::/home/lynn:/bin/bash and my login to AD is: lynn2:*:3000023:20513:lynn2:/home/users/lynn2:/bin/bash I need a domain user like a squashed root on NFS, so I made a user with just uidNumber and gidNumber: cifsuser:*:3000020:20513 It seems to work fine. cifsuser cannot authenticate but I see that ALL the entries in /etc/passwd on 12.3 installs have home directory and login shell populated. Question Is there anything I've overlooked? _Should_ I specify the 12.3 fields for cifsuser too?
