PAM problems?

I'm sure someone will come up with an answer for this. I have this FreeBSD 5.4 installed with approximately 3000 users. I had a power outage and after a fsck() it does not recognizes about 500 users anymore.

I manage to enter as root in the console and every attempt to execute:

id someuser issues
Code: 
id: someuser: no such user
su someuser issues
Code: 
su: unknown login: someuser

All users are in the /etc/passwd and /etc/master.passwd but only the first 2591 users are recognized, users from 2591 to 3000 are not recognized as valid.

Is there a method to diagnose this problem?
 
Oh wow. I really hope a host that old is not touching the internet. You won't get much support using such an outdated version. Are the /etc/passwd and /etc/master.passwd all valid? If they are maybe the database copy in /etc/pwd.db and /etc/spwd.db got corrupted. Maybe cap_mkdb /etc/passwd and cap_mkdb /etc/master.passwd would help.
