But when I upgraded from 3.1-RELEASE to -STABLE, the same error occured with passwords. (Note, that it did not reoccur when upgrading to 3.2-RELEASE, though.) It looks that the passwd file was somehow tampered with because all accounts were deleted, and reset, i.e. root existed but with no password. So I could log in through that and recreate the users. Maybe it will work for you. It was not fun, though. I hope someone might have found a better way. Since the problem did not come up any more, I was not thinking of it lately. Reinstalling from 2.2.X CD-s is not a good idea IMHO, because that in effect undoes the changes you made... > > Thanks in advance for your patience.
