TCB Problems

Hi All !!!

When running pwconv on one of our last legacy servers (still running 10.20 I'm sorry to say), we get the following error:-

"_5 Zè\Ò_ appears in Protected Password database but cannot be retrieved with getprpwent()"

I cannot see any particular file corruption under the /tcb tree, and have double-checked the latest batch of users in case these were causing the problem.

Any ideas ?????

Regs,
Paul.
