I occasionally get things like this from 5.2 systems: sudo: uid 0 does not exist in the passwd file!
Root cron jobs occasionally have error messages based on uid 0 not existing (and maybe root user, per se, I don't recall for sure). It's random and not very frequent. We have root in /etc/passwd . We use NIS and nscd for user accounts. nsswitch.conf checks files then network for passwd. Usually it works, and we don't see this on our 4.x systems (of which we have far, far, more-- call it 300+ 4.4 systems and a couple of 4.7 systems, and maybe a dozen 5.2 systems. Any idea what needs to be updated to stop this?
