Please help, updated to 4.8 serious issues

[Anton Zavrin]

Thank you very kindly all,
Yes, I think I messed up my password database files with mergemaster, I
re-generated passwd file and now I can actually "finger" on root ;-).

Building world again, gonna take awhile, hope everything will be OK

Thank you very much again!
Best Regards, Anton

>From that screenshot it I would guess that your password file or
database are corrupted. Try having a look at /etc/passwd and
/etc/master.passwd and check if they look correct. If they do try
regenerating your password database with pwd_mkdb.
