Hello,

I am seasoned FreeBSD 2.1 Admin. The problem that poped up is as following.

adduser was used for more then a year to add new users to the system. But
when it was tried yesterday to add a new ones, after work of adduser it 
was not possible to use the new accounts. After login/password input, the
system shows 'you have new mail' and then permission denied, and then
login prompts appears again. What could be the cause ?

TIA. Dima
