  When upgrading from 5.2.1 to 5.3 (building into new partition) I had to
add the entries by hand.  I think you just need what would be in
/etc/passwd and /etc/group:

	bash-3.00# grep proxy /etc/passwd /etc/group
	/etc/passwd:proxy:*:62:62:Packet Filter pseudo-user:/nonexistent:/usr/sbin/nologin
	/etc/group:proxy:*:62:
