Trying to add my domain users to /etc/passwd, but when I run mkpasswd I get (somewhat obfuscated): $ mkpasswd -l -d CO-RA SYSTEM:*:18:544:,S-1-5-18:: LocalService:*:19:544:U-NT AUTHORITY\LocalService,S-1-5-19:: NetworkService:*:20:544:U-NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService,S-1-5-20:: Administrators:*:544:544:,S-1-5-32-544:: TrustedInstaller:*:4294967294:4294967294:U-NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller,S-*:: Administrator:unused:500:513:U-FONT3\Administrator,S-* Guest:unused:501:513:U-FONT3\Guest,S-*:/home/Guest:/bin/bash sgeadmin:unused:1000:513:U-FONT3\sgeadmin,S-*:/home/sgeadmin:/bin/bash mkpasswd (374): [2247] The security database is corrupted. That message led me to trying to check the status to the secedit.sdb database with esentutl but that checks out okay. Any ideas?
