FreeBSD ccdconfig bug

Hi,

Following on from the initial ccdconfig bug post, I've found that if
you are persistent with chfn in the background while grepping the
ccdconfig output for :0: or something similar, you will encounter chunks
of /etc/master.passwd which you can reconstruct gradually after a bit of
tidying up.

It seems to be a bit hit and miss but root does eventually make an appearance
along with the majority of the other users under FreeBSD 2.2 and 3.0.

Anyway. It works. You just have to play with it.

Regards,
