vipw outputs this:


/etc/pw.Xe8310: 19 Lines, 1004 characters.
vipw: rebuilding the database...
pwd_mkdb:corrupted entry
pwd_mkdb:at line #19
pwd_mkdb:/etc/pw.Xe8310: Inappropriate file type or format

Hows about them apples?
Never seen that before.
As I said this is the first time I have installed from the iso image.
The other two FreeBSD boxes that I have (alpha Xp1000a and DPW500au) don't
do this.

As a sanity check, you do have this:

+:*:::::

At the bottom of /etc/passwd, right?

And this at the bottom of /etc/group, right?

+:*::


NOTE: use vipw when editing the password file!!!  Do not just vi
/etc/passwd!
