When I try rcmd (rlogin, telnet does not work also) to FreeBSD 2.1 after 
1 day of work, it does'nt work and writes on the console:
Feb 1 00:54:37 turt inetd[1930]: /etc/spwd.db: No such file or directory
Feb 1 00:54:37 turt inetd[1930]: shell/tcp: root: No such user

After login from console as root all start to work fine thru a day and 
stops in a next day.

What's going on?
