Hello, if you have installed the sources, you can get a "virgin" master.passwd file from : /usr/src/etc/master.passwd can you "ls /etc" to see which files are missing ? TfH PS : the same file is also on the second installation CD (along with a full /etc directory) Henry smith wrote: > > Hi, > > My password database is mess up.
