Afternoon folks,
I've updated my -current box doing a reinstall to on a larger disk.
I'm encountering a problem trying to add nis users to my password
file.  Everytime I try to add and entry of the form:

+userid:*:0:0::: 

I get the following error:

beastie:root# vipw
pwd_mkdb: corrupted entry
pwd_mkdb: at line #17
pwd_mkdb: /etc/ptmp: Inappropriate file type or format
re-edit the password file? [y]: 

Has something changed, or have I overlooked something. (probably the latter
I know)  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks-in-advance.
