[FreeBSD 2.2.2 **Newby Allert**]

Hello,

i just thought i would add a few users to my system, but when i start
'adduser' this is what it tells me:

check /etc/shells
check /etc/master.passwd
user deamon: illegal shell: ``/nonexistent''
user games: illegal shell: ``/nonexistent''
user man: illegal shell: ``/nonexistent''
check /etc/group

and then i need to do a lot of stuff.

Can someone tell me how this could have happened (didn't do this before)
and how to fix it ?
