It was a combination of three topics with the same question asked three different ways. internetarchive.org does not have it archived, either.

And even weirder, when I try to set his password, the system says he doesn't exist: # passwd testing passwd: testing: no such user If I run pwd_mkdb to check the file, it seems that it's corrupted somehow: pwd_mkdb -C /etc/pwd.db pwd_mkdb: line #1 too long pwd_mkdb: /etc/pwd.db: Inappropriate file type or format It's the same for spwd.db: # pwd_mkdb -C /etc/spwd.db pwd_mkdb: line #1 too long pwd_mkdb: /etc/spwd.db: Inappropriate file type or format spwd and pwd are different. # diff /etc/spwd.db /etc/pwd.db Files /etc/spwd.db and /etc/pwd.db differ What happened? More importantly, how do I fix it? My password and the root password both work fine, so I don't want to screw those up. System is 8.4 RELEASE, just upgraded.
