Hmmm...thank you, Victor. I'll try to sort that out.

That's what I've been doing, but apparently my /etc/passwd file is
screwed up.
I had a similar issue when I moved from 10.x to 11.x where a user account
line in the passwd field was mangled in some minor way and it cause the
rest of the passed file to not be processed.
I had to run fsck twice to get the system back up and running.
I do not recall the details, but I think on UID was changed from
something like 1015 to 1000015?
So, look at the passwd file and move the ‘filter’ user earlier in the
file, If that fixes it, you can then use the id command to check each UID
later in the file to narrow down where the problem is.
It's fixed now. I ran pwd_mkdb -C and it reported that the file was
corrupted. Which is pretty useless, because it says the same thing on a
perfectly fine passwd file.
At any rate, I rebuilt it, and that did the trick.
