scoadmin -> Account Manager -> Users -> Add New Users breaks /etc/password symlink

When ever I add a news user on my SCO OSR5 (.0.2) system, the symlink
from /etc/passwd to /var/opt/K/SCO/Unix/5.0.2Dp/etc/passwd, and
sometimes for /etc/group as well.  If I use the utility in ScoAdmin to
fix the discrepancies, the my password and group files will not have the
proper info, ie the user(s) just added.  Why is the updated file being
written to /etc/passwd instead of the file the link points to?  Or is
this normal behavior?

TIA
