Larry (or anyone who can help),
  Here is what I am getting now:

Try doing as it asks and try again.  If it complains again, I need
to see the results of 'ls -l /etc/passwd /etc/group' and the contents
of these files.  If the files are bigger than a few K, let me know
and we'll arrange a way to get them to me off-list.  Otherwise,
please *attach* the files (rather than append).
