Many of us end up editing /etc/passwd and /etc/group, with nothing 
more elaborate than vi.  There could be a lint tool (like weblint, 
etc.) just for the purpose of checking the integrity of these files.
Perhaps one exists, and it's even right under my nose.

But I haven't found it yet.

Thanks for your thoughts, Dirk.  They're appreciated.
