Thanks for your suggestion. I use 'files' lookup. As You wrote I checked the syntax with pwd_mkdb -C /etc/passwd' and it returned nothing. Then I did a rebuild with -p, and now it seems to be okay, the two accounts that had gone away are working now.

Anyway I haven't changed the nsswitch.conf, I have the default one:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] less /etc/nsswitch.conf
group: compat
group_compat: nis
hosts: files dns
networks: files
passwd: compat
passwd_compat: nis
shells: files

Cheers,

Gábor Kövesdán


What are you using for user lookups?  Are you using nss_ldap or something
other than the default 'files' lookup?  Can you post the contents of
/etc/nsswitch.conf?

I'd also check your master.passwd file for any syntax errors or odd
characters and then force a rebuild with:

pwd_mkdb -p /etc/master.passwd

as root.
