Hello! 

I am the network manager at Cetys University, Ensenada Campus, in
Mexico. I have two FreeBSD servers (2.1-RELEASE and 2.2.1-RELEASE).
The problem is in the older server (2.1) and this is what happens:

Every user can login, but I can not add more users. This is the message
I get after I type adduser:

pwd_mkdb: /etc/master.passwd.orig: File exists

Invalid /etc/master.passwd - cannot add any users!

And quits the application {adduser}... what can I do?

Thank you for your help.
