For the first part all seams to go well (installing libtiff, Ghostscript, and creating fax, bin and uucp groups ...)
During the installation I need to do the command :
<x-tad-bigger>chpass -a "uucp:*:10:66::0:0:uucp:/var/spool/uucp:"
</x-tad-bigger>
But I receive a message saying that the password database is corrupted :-(
After many search on google, I decide to use the command vipw to check the integrity of database, but I receive an error :-(
The I tray to reinstall all the system from scratch and I tray to use the command vipw another time without success…
back:~ gerard$ su
back:/Users/gerard root# vipw
vipw: rebuilding the database...
pwd_mkdb: corrupted entry
pwd_mkdb: at line #1
pwd_mkdb: /etc/pw.B5Dqns: Inappropriate file type or format

You can do the experimentation in terminal
1/su
2/vipw (ask to write the modification in the vi procedure [ :w] but whiteout changing anything !
And your receive a message saying that you have a corrupted entry !! All so if you don’t change anything of the out of the box install !!
Is it a problem from MacOS ? I don’t think ! I think is just because I’m a newbie, but I can’t found the way to go on.
