The copying of the password entry from CS_ROOT/private/registration/create
to CS_ROOT/private/passwd (with pre-pended CMD:a:) failed.  

I copied a saved version from CS_ROOT/private/tmp/abort.pw.$$ to
CS_ROOT/private/passwd, removed the .../create/pw.* files, ran
CS_ROOT/cronbin/passwd-batch by hand and all appears to be well.

EXCEPT,
in the process I (randomly) checked the quota for the new accounts - they
were not set.  Further checking revealed that none of the accounts created
through the online registration have quotas set.

The CS_ROOT/private/passwd file does have entries like:
	CMD:q:aa016:guest
which are supposed to set the quota for the user.

I have set them by hand.  I will check into it further in the near future.
