Thank you so much! It was the /etc/rc file. evilness. I told it not to move the new one in because it looked like it was just deleting my old one. Mergemaster is great, but if you don't know certian files need to change, it doesn't help much. I knew to be careful when I saw it wanted to give me a default passwd file, but I suppose I was too careful. Oh, btw, my /etc/rc.d/ has 115 files, but everything works. Strange. Thanks to everyone! --Charlie
