Hi there,
I have FreeBSD running on our mail server. But for few days now, I was unable to add more users to the server anytime I use the "adduser" command. The message I always received is
"pwd_mkdb:root uid should be 0
pwd_mkdb:at line #337
pwd_mkdb:/etc/master.passwd:Inappropriate file type or format
Kindly let me know how I can resolve this problem. You can reach me through this email address dogunso@igi-insurers.com or emmanuayo@yahoo.com.
Thanks
Dayo
