I was just about to notify the list that I (sorta) solved the problem :)
nsswitch.conf was fine, otherwise getpwnam(3) wouldn't have succeeded
for accounts on the server. The problem was that SuSE uses the pam_unix2
module by default and had blowfish encryption enabled for the passwords.
Gentoo's pam_unix only does DES and MD5. For the few accounts that
really have to use the machine I manually reset the password to DES
encryption using crypt(1). Now they just mustn't change passwords on a
SuSE machine before I get around to install pam_unix2; emerge didn't
find it yet, I guess it's in ~x86 only so I'll have to put it into some
exception list...
cheers!
