I was trying to add a user named '2grnflcn' to my system via
/stand/sysinstall and was given the error that this user already exists.
I checked with vipw to make sure I wasn't being absent minded, and the
user is not there.  If there is a valid reason this account can't exist,
then sysinstall needs to give a more informative response.  

My system was updated prior to compile on:

FreeBSD shadows.ghostwheel.com 3.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT #9: Sun Jan
10 10:43:20 PST 1999 
merlin@shadows.ghostwheel.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/SHADOWS  i386

A manual useradd worked correctly with the same information.
