You have to make sure /etc/passwd and /etc/master.passwd have the same content (just that they differ in passwords and in file permissions). The database files /etc/(s)pwd.db will be created from those files by the pwd_mkdb command. This of course requires root access (which I assume you have made sure). > Is there a way to fix it via livecd/livedvd, or can I copy it from > another machine and resync it? You can use the files (_both_ files!) from before starting the dbus installation. Regenerate the databases with the pwd_mkdb command. > Or do I just flat install FreeBSD again and be done with it? That is possible, but should be your last option. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
