I fear that by re-running /stand/sysinstall, you installed a fresh copy of the base packages over the old ones. This might have clobbered your existing /etc/master.passwd file. See if you can find any missing accounts in your /etc/passwd and master.passwd ;) Oh and one more thing, the best way to upgrade the sources is using cvsup, IMHO. I can send a supfile, but making your own after reading the handbook is many times more beneficial for you. For me it makes absolutely no difference at all.
