Let's *not* do that.  I experienced PITA many times on Linux
because of outdated cache entries and users complaining "thank
you for changing/updating/fixing my account data, but somehow
it still doesn't seem to work..." - me: "did you try on one of
our OpenBSD hosts?" - user: "yes, it does work fine there."

See the problem?

Yours,
