It has been a while for me on FreeBSD, but did you also
upgrade FreeBSD itself ?  I wonder if the user/password
database needs to be fixed ?

Have not upgraded FreeBSD yet but am about to soon.
I back up my SSD to an HDD each time I do this so can
check old tin config files from the last time if something
is missing.
 

IIRC, there is some command to check /etc/passwd & fix the
datatbase.  This assumes your /etc/passwd entry is fine.

So far as I know,no problem there.

Also, looks like something is up with your sig :)

You are referring to my manually patched-in textfile
that I carefully make sure CAN be quoted back at me by
anyone inclined to react?
