I realize that kerberos has been integrated into BSD4.4. Where does that leave the old fashioned /etc/passwd file? I recently locked myself out my FreeBSD system, and I was puzzled as to why I could not de-password root, no matter what I tried There was something strange about clearing the password out of /etc/shadow, and being ignored. I know this stuff is there somewhere.. And more importantly, how would I backup account information? Thanks, Robert Sexton.
