I did a upgrade to FreeBSD 9 a few weeks ago and just started using it, and when I try and create a new user, I get the follow:
pw: user 'todd' disappeared during update
adduser: ERROR: There was an error adding user (todd).
I first noticed this issue when trying to install postfix and got a similar error.
Anyone know what this is or how to fix it without a complete re-install?
Some people have suggested shutting down the nscd daemon, but that doesn't fix the problem.
