I backed up the master.password and group files. I copied the master.password file over as master.password.new and the group file over as group.new moved them both to /etc then: pwd_mkdb -p master.password.new rm group cp group.new group I checked all of the users and groups and they appear to match up correctly. su to other users works fine, but when I tried to open up another ssh connection to this remote server, I'm getting a Connection Closed. I tried to restart sshd, but I got Failed to start SSH server : Privilege separation user sshd does not exist I still have a ssh session running as root. Any help would be Much appreciated! ~Andrew
