It may be that you did not run mergemaster properly (knowing which temp file to delete/install or using sdiff is tricky, one has to get used to it). I hope you have a good backup of your previous /etc somewhere, or at least /etc/group and /etc/master.passwd. You may try to boot a rescue disk/CD in order to examine your system. olive -- La licence GPL donne la liberté à l'utilisateur La licence BSD donne aussi la liberté au développeur To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
