>Description:
After inserting a blank or commented (by # in first column) line 
into a master.passwd by means of vipw, it saves and and rebuilds 
databases ok. 
But after that an attempt to run : "passwd <username>"
for users listed in master.passwd below the inserted blank line
ends up with "corrupted entry, password not modified".
>How-To-Repeat:
Fully repeatable
>Fix:
Remove blank and commented lines from master.passwd with vipw.
Thus loosing its readability.
