Hello,

We can't change the password for some users. passwd says:

root@myserver:~>passwd conseisw
Changing local password for conseisw.
New password:
Retype new password:
passwd: /etc/master.passwd: corrupted entry
passwd: /etc/master.passwd: unchanged
root@myserver:~>

This problem appears only with the last (maybe 200) users in master.passwd

When I do vipw, I have no problems:

/etc/pw.T26455: 4785 lines, 432470 characters.
vipw: rebuilding the database...
vipw: done
root@myserver:~>

We run FreeBSD 3.1. Thanks in advance for any tips :)

Ben
