Hi Clint and others, I tried:
> # rm spwd* pwd* passwd* ptmp> # pwd_mkdb /etc/master.passwd then #passwd username but I am still getting: (for all users) pwd_mkdb: corrupted entrypwd_mkdb: at line #24pwd_mkdb: /etc/ptmp: Inappropriate file type or formatpasswd: /etc/master.passwd: unchanged I have searched the faqs but have not been able to find a good solution to this issue.
