    Hi,

    That could indeed be, since the fields have a shell on the end , nothing
    else. Perhaps try vipw and if it still is in that file as well, delete it,
    and try logging in,

    it really should not be there, afaik.

    Cheers

    I booted into single-user mode (I was amazed to find that
    Ctrl-Alt-Delete shutdown the server from the login prompt.) and took a
    look at /etc/master.passwd.  At the end of one user's entry for shell,
    which was /bin/sh, there was "swd 91%" appended to the end.  I wonder
    if something happened to the file and that's why I am seeing this
    password expired issue?
    Being schooled,
