You have a corrupt entry on line 12 of /etc/master.passwd. Open
/etc/maser.passwd using vipw. Then go to line 12, and make sure that
all the fields are there for line #12.
name:passwd:uid:gid:class:change:expire:gecos:home_dir:shell
daemon:*:1:1::0:0:Owner of many system processes:/root:/usr/sbin/nologin
NOTE: in version 1.40 of the master.passwd file the 12th line is:
man:*:9:9::0:0:Mister Man Pages:/usr/share/man:/usr/sbin/nologin

thanks for the enlightment.
problem solve.
but i wonder, how could it be a fresh install the master.passwd could
be such a mess up.
TIA
Zen
