>Environment:
FreeBSD www.toejam.com 4.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE #0: Mon Nov 20 13:02:55 GMT 2000 jkh@bento.FreeBSD.org:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC i386
>Description:
      I installed the binary compatibility distributions through '/stand/sysinstall/' and all of my password files were destroyed. All the accounts from the system including the root password were deleted and the 'htpasswd' passwords were missing as well. I retried the same type of update on freeBSD 4.5 current-release i386 and it was the same issue. Not sure if you call this a bug, but maybe at least a warning to the server admin that this may happen before updating the binary compatibility distributions.
>How-To-Repeat:
      Build a server using the freeBSD operating system. Configure accounts as well as set the root password. Install a few programs (Apache, mySQL, GLIB, etc...). Run '/stand/install/', 'configure', 'distributions', and install the binary compatibility packages.
