Corrupted passwd file

Greetings all:

I'm running into a problem where when I am trying to remove a user under
BASE security (DU 4.0D), I am getting the following error:

Working ...userdel: Password entry is corrupted. Please repair the password
file and then run Account Manager

Originally, I had this server set up for C2 security, but due to an
application that I'm testing, I had to drop it down to BASE security so the
app will run. I did not like this too well, but when the CIO tells you this
is a corporate mandated software package, you do it. (Yes, you can declare
me an idiot for dropping the security from C2 to BASE).

My question is how do I repair the passwd file? I have gone into vipw and
saved it to try to get the hashed database synced up, but it still didn't do
the trick. Any ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
