Community technical support mailing list was retired 2010 and replaced with a professional technical support team. For assistance please contact: Pre-sales Technical support via email to sales@march-hare.com.
Hi Wally, I realize CACI is a large company, but at least one group within CACI has purchased support. If you are part of that group, email me directly ASAP so we can get you added to the contact list and get your question answered. This forum is not for commercial support. On the other hand, if you are not with the group who has commercial support and are looking for community support, I know they will need additional details like the version of CVSNT, your CVSROOT, contents of passwd might help. It's also possible it's as simple as a bad line ending or unicode BOM problem -- e.g. try restoring the file from a backup rather than editing it again to revert the change.
