This happens rarely and I have experienced it once myself. There are two ways to fix it: You can run the following command... # pwd_mkdb -p /etc/master.passwd or... # vipw no need to make any changes to /etc/master/passwd, just :wg to save and leave the editor. Now you should be able to create the 'saned' group. Regards Matthias
