Right, I thought of that. Also, some of the users on my system have home
dirs that don't actually exist anymore. A sure sign they either never used
the account (and that the previous admin didn't create them properly), or
that the account is so old the directory structure changed a lot in the
meantime. But I was wondering if I could somehow get a precise date...
