if you have buildworld recently and done mergemaster, you might wanna
look at /etc.old/ if you created backups prior to doing the
mergemaster.

Subject: Re: passwd


|   I overwritten my /etc/passwd with /etc/adduser.conf and
| accidentally rebooted, now the passwds all cannot work. When i
| rename /etc/master.passwd to /etc/passwd, it might work too.
| 
|   When I run the passwd command, I get an error saying that the
| /etc/pwd.db  is an incorrect file type or format. It looks like
| both, the /etc/pwd.db  and /etc/spwd.db are corrupted.  I am trying
| to get something working so  that i can log in.  
| 
| Any idea?
