Sorry to leave the thread, but I'm back on Caldera, and the mail is on the 
other partition.  Thanks to Bill Campbell and Zoran.  Yep, it was 
/etc/shadow.  Luckily, I had backed up /etc just a few days ago, so just 
copied over from there.  pwconv - didn't need it, but it's now in my 
notes.

I never messed with shadow or passwd - All I was doing (I think) was 
compiling the new Wine.  Wonder how they got foobarred??

Thanks again.
