Thank You for your respons Mr. McKay,
The rpm is a new one from Red Hat, reinstalling would not have fixed, I figure
it out!
Last night I added a user via the internet (through a terminal). I obviously
could not use the usercfg (that has spoiled me) so I had to do it through the
commandline. So I type 'adduser -p hispaswd hisuname' but for some reason it
didn't do the Shadow thing on the password file. When I could not get the
account to log on I did an htpassword to change the password it still would not
logon. So then i did an pwconv to manually convert it to Shadow. It work the
account could log on. But it broke the shadow system. So I did a pwunconv and
then a pwconv /etc/passwd /etc/shadow and the usercfg works agian.
Wheeeeeww! Did you get all that.
