[-- Attachment #1 --] Apparently some of the passwords that are in the master.passwd file are corrupted When I try to change the password of one of our users this error appears: passwd: /etc/master.passwd: corrupted entry passwd: /etc/master.passwd: unchanged I tried running vipw and it didn't catch any errors. I also tried pwd_mkdb -c and no errors were discovered I am currently running freebsd 2.8 on a pentium II 233. If you have any insight into this problem please help. Thanks!
