freebsd stable - Apr 2003 - Problem logging in after upgrade to 4.8-Stable

I upgraded two 4.7 machines yesterday to 4.8-stable and now normal users
can't
login (both at the console and ssh).  Root logs in okay.  I created a new 
user and that works.  However, the first server I upgraded to 4.8 hasn't had
the same problems.  I changed my personal password as root on one of the 
problem servers and then I was able to login.  Did something change in the 
password algorithm to cause this to happen or is it something else?

Any suggestions??

Thanks.

Can not say for sure but this usually happens when you don't pay 
attention during mergemaster. If you let it update master.passwd, you 
end up with a clean system and lose your users.

Here's some more information that I realize is probably relevant.  I've 
attempted to strip out the openssl/openssh out of the base system, including 
libcrypto and libssl so I can track it through the ports area.  It would be 
understandable if all accounts were locked out, but why would root and new 
users not be affected by whatever is broken?
