This error was shown on > two different machines during the virtualbox-ose install. Just for the record. The virtualbox port only tells the ports framework that it needs some users/groups to install correctly by setting USERS= vboxusers but the actual creation of that happens within the ports framework (See create-users-groups target in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk). So this has nothing to do with virtualbox itself - it just happens to be one of the ports that need a special user/group. Use pwd_mkdb(8) to recreate your password database and everything should be fine again. -- Bernhard Froehlich http://www.bluelife.at/
