 Hi,
 
 I've found this issue not to be specific to any port, but is specific to
 corruption of the /etc/passwd, or /etc/master.passwd files.
 
 Try running pwd_mkdb -C against either of these files to see if there is any
 valid corruption in your password database files.
 
 I've had this happen before, myself, and after fixing the corruption, this
 very error went away.
 
 For reference here is another pr regarding the same issue.
