Ok, so I upgraded, ran mergemaster, and merged /etc/group (and
/etc/master.passwd I think) via mergemaster.
I merged those files to retain my non root user account.
I rebooted, and I haven't been able to log into my non root account.
I tried to readd the account via adduser, but it says that the user
already exists.
So I tried rmuser, and it says that the user doesn't exist.
So I manually removed the account name from /etc/group,
/etc/master.passwd, /etc/passwd,
and tried to add the user, via adduser.
When it tries to add the user, it fails (dont remember the message
right now).
I tried adding another account on the box, and the Im getting the same
error...
This time I got the error message from adduser
----
OK? (yes/no): yes
pw: user 'test' disappeared during update
adduser: ERROR: There was an error adding user (test).
Add another user? (yes/no): no
----
Anyone has any suggestions on how I can get the old user account back??
N.B. I did back up /etc before mergemaster...
Thanks
Well I got it working again. Im not sure what fixed it, but I believe
running vipw fixed what was wrong with it...
