Class is the fifth field in /etc/master.passwd
It is a BSD thing and doesn't appear in /etc/passwd
read man 5 passwd

the first line of my /etc/master.passwd is:
root:password_here:0:0::0:0:Charlie &
class field -------------------^

In the default setup class is null, which means default
class. There is no root class(by default). Classes are
defined in /etc/login.conf

So, did you change the class field for root?
