What's the output of the make?  What's the generated passwd file
 look like?  Try removing the generated passwd file before running
 the make.  Perhaps you generated the passwd file before
 uncommenting the UNSECURE line and never changed master.passwd?  So
 the passwd file never got regenerated after updating the makefile
 (since it was already up to date as far as make was concerned).

Here's the relevant part of the Makefile that puts the '*' in
 the pw field...

$(PASSWD): $(MASTER)
        @echo "Creating new $@ file from $(MASTER)..."
        @if [ ! $(UNSECURE) ]; then \
        $(RCAT) $(MASTER) | \
        $(AWK) -F: '{if ($$1 != "+") \
                print $$1":*:"$$3":"$$4":"$$8":"$$9":"$$10}' $^ \
                > $(PASSWD) ; \
        else $(RCAT) $(MASTER) | \
        $(AWK) -F: '{if ($$1 != "+") \
                print $$1":"$$2":"$$3":"$$4":"$$8":"$$9":"$$10}' $^ \
                > $(PASSWD) ; fi

Concentrate on that part to see what your problem might be.
