After an extended round of disk grinding, trying to swap some free-space my netscape session bombed out. I am pretty new to FreeBSD and I didn't know what to make of a repeated message: "no such file or directory - /etc/spwd.db" I smelled trouble when I tried to su to root in xterm and got "who are you?" After rebooting the machine and failing to get in as root or anyone I began to realize I had lost my password file. NOW WHAT?
