>Description:
        Upgrade from 5.0 to -current, try to use usermod:

        $ sudo usermod -c "Donkey" donkey 
        pwd_mkdb: databases are laid out according to an old version
        pwd_mkdb: re-build the databases without -u
        usermod: Can't modify user `donkey': pw_mkdb failed

        Running 'sudo /etc/rc.d/sysdb start' doesn't regenerate the
        database, nor does 'sudo /etc/rc.d/sysdb password', because it
        only checks if the database exists, not the version of it.

        Not sure if any of the other databases have changed as a result of
        the christos-time_t merge.
>How-To-Repeat:
        
>Fix:
        Workaround:
        $ sudo /usr/sbin/pwd_mkdb /etc/master.passwd
