I am having a problem with groups in FreeBSD.  I have a group 'user' and 
i seem to have broke it.  I think itsbecause the line buffer in 
/etc/group cannot exceed 1024 characters.

So i tried adding a new group called 'user' also, with different GID but 
i get an error when i run the adduser script along wiht other errors.

ex...
inner /home/staff/costa>adduser

Use option ``-silent'' if you don't want see all warnings & questions.

	Check /etc/shells
	Check /etc/master.passwd
	User news: illegal shell: ``/nonexistent''
	User xten: illegal shell: ``/nonexistent''
	User ftp: illegal shell: ``/dev/null''
	Check /etc/group
	Groupname exist twice: user:1109 ->  user:101

How do i resolve the problem?  Right now i addusers into their own group 
(jim:*:1239:jim) and its OK.  

How do i clean up this mess??

Thanks in advance!
