I've been getting an error message ever since I installed FreeBSD, and I
still haven't figured out where it's coming from.  I must admit, it seems
obvious.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Here's the message:
Oct  4 13:05:08 ken2 syslog: /etc/spwd.db: Invalid argument

I have not done any password work other than that with vipw and the
installation shell script.  I've not added any users at all - despite
other's advice I operate as root user always.

Thank you in advance!

Here's my syslog.conf:

*.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;mail.crit          /dev/console
*.notice;kern.debug;lpr.info;mail.crit;news.err /var/log/messages
