 bin/74929 describes exactly the same problem.
 
 please also note that the pw utility
 (mentioned in http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin/74929) is 
 not a valid fix because it is available only for root: beeing root, I 
 would not have this problem anyway because I can edit the password table 
 as I like!
