Since the questions search/browse is down on freebsd.org, I'm asking for some help in repairing the passwd file that I managed to mess up. I boot in single user mode, enter: mount -u / mount -t -a ufs swapon -a and then enter vipw, to which I get ex/vi not found. What else/does one need to do to run vipw in single user mode, or what needs to be done to rebuild the shadow passwd file if I edit passwd with ex??? Thanks and sorry for the basic question.
