You may also try the pwck <http://www.linuxcommand.org/man_pages/pwck8.html> and grpck <http://www.linuxcommand.org/man_pages/grpck8.html> commands on each machine, to ensure that your passwd, group, shadow and gshadow files are self-consistent. These can correct many, but not all, inconsistencies. Does your /etc/group contain an entry for GID 1000 (as referenced above, in your passwd file)? _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
