shell:
You have modified /etc/passwd.
You may need to modify /etc/shadow for consistency.
Please use the command `vipw -s' to do so.


-root- # passwd bbs
shell:
passwd: Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info
passwd: password unchanged
// probably cause edit /etc/shadow failed
then manually edit vi /etc/shadow

or the above might replace by simply using "adduser bbs" command

-root- # tar xvfz /tmp/MapleBBS-3.10-20yymmdd-PACK.tgz -C /home/

-root- # chown -R bbs:bbs /home/bbs
