I backed up my system, repartitioned, and I'm resurrecting the original data. Somewhere along the line my password database stuffed itself up. Now I can't login in multiuser mode. It says invalid /etc/spwd.db. Is there some way I can make a new one? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeremy Laidman, Analyst Programmer School of I.T. and Mathematics Phone: (61 9) 370 6648 Edith Cowan University Fax: (61 9) 370 2910 Perth, Western Australia j.laidman@cowan.edu.au
