On FreeBSD 4.1 I tried to run adduser on root to try and get rid of the 'Charlie &' and now adduser says: pwd:mkdb: root uid should be 0 pwd:mkdb: at line #20 pwd:mkdb: /etc/pw.gXb228: Inappropriate file type or format and it refuses to let me change root password or add any users. Everything else is still working OK- I can log in just fine. Does you know what I can do to fix or rebuild whatever has been damaged? (and what I shouldn't do again?)
