Hi - well I have a happy ending to the story:
just exchanged some emails with Mark Scarborough regarding
vipw and the passwd file. I had tried regenerating the file using
mkpasswd and also by opening and closing it via vipw. That
didn't seem to work.
However, Mark suggested going in via vipw, add a space, delete
the space and then save. This worked! I can now remove users to
my heart's content!
Thanks again for everyone's input and help.
david.
