Try running: /usr/sbin/pwd_mkdb -p /etc/master.passwd to re-create the password databases and /etc/passwd. Note: - make backups of /etc/passwd, /etc/spwd.db and /etc/pwd.db - make sure that all of your users are in /etc/master.passwd -- DISCLAIMER: No electrons were maimed while sending this message.
