If I recall, the structure had a bunch of fixed-size things.  The only
troublesome item now is the date.  Also, I think it was just for making
the lump to encrypt, rather than use as a struct.

Could it be considered to make the all items null terminated ascii?  e.g. a
date of decimal digits, not any kind of binary.  Maybe the strings could have
maximum limits, but the next one would start after the preceding null.

Some /etc/passwd.db setups I've seen are like this, admittedly with the
exception that UID and GID were oddball 16bit ints mixed with the ascii.
