Summary: Getting tiring message, can't seem to fix.
Keywords: XFree86,NetBSD
I have a NetBSD box running XFree86. I have been getting the
message "syslog: /etc/spwd.db Inappropriate file type or format." I have
recently started using XFree86-1.3u1-xdm-des for my logins. Sometimes the
machine won't allow any typing in the login box. This makes it hard to
login. Eventually the machine needs to be rebooted.
Thanks for your help!!!!
