bryn1u

Hi,

I installed freebsd FreeBSD 9.2 64-bit new and cleanly. As a first step I want to add a user but I am getting the following error.
Code: 
root@ks3360102:~ # adduser
Username: bryn1u
Full name:
Uid (Leave empty for default):
Login group [bryn1u]: wheel
Login group is wheel. Invite bryn1u into other groups? []:
Login class [default]:
Shell (sh csh tcsh bash rbash nologin) [sh]: tcsh
Home directory [/home/bryn1u]:
Home directory permissions (Leave empty for default):
Use password-based authentication? [yes]:
Use an empty password? (yes/no) [no]:
Use a random password? (yes/no) [no]:
Enter password:
Enter password again:

Home       : /home/bryn1u

OK? (yes/no): y
[b]pw: user 'bryn1u' disappeared during update
adduser: ERROR: There was an error adding user (bryn1u).[/b]

Code: 
root@ks3360102:~ # pw adduser test
pw: user 'test' disappeared during update

What's wrong?
 
I had this issue yesterday on FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE-p1 and

pwd_mkdb /etc/master.passwd

solved it as well. Thank you
