Well, your system isn't very happy. If knowone else can come up with
anything try running setup.exe again and re-installing, you do not need to
delete anything. After you have re-installed run this:

$ mv /etc/passwd /etc/passwd.old && mv /etc/group /etc/group.old
$ mkpasswd -l >/etc/passwd (use -d if your in a domain)
$ mkgroup -l >/etc/group (ditto...use -d if in a domain)

Sorry there's nothing else I can suggest. :-(
