Here's some followup information from my instance of the same error. What can I do to fix this without reinstalling? # ps -A | grep auth root 5 - So 0:00.05 /hurd/auth # showtrans /servers/password /hurd/password Comparing the /hurd/* servers to a freshly unpacked archive (using gnu-20020816) I can only conclude they are identical, so there must be something else wrong.
