Very Computer

An example local passwd file that came with the distribution of
sliplogin somehow corrupted my master /etc/passwd file, after
rebooting from my master boot disk, I succesfully mounted my
root hard drive partition under a temporary mounting point in
my directory structure, and examined the damage.  Hence, the
corrupted passwd file.  After correcting the entries, I had a
working system again.

Many, many thanks to all who responded...with everyone's help I
was back up in less than a few hours....

Thanks again.
