What is passwd section set to in nsswitch.conf? On my Debian testing
system it's "compat":
$ grep passwd /etc/nsswitch.conf
passwd: compat
Make sure you have the nss libraries available for the passwd entries.
When I strace the command I have it checking for next libs:
$ strace id -un 2>&1 | grep libnss
open("/lib/i686/cmov/libnss_compat.so.2", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/lib/i686/cmov/libnss_nis.so.2", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/lib/i686/cmov/libnss_files.so.2", O_RDONLY) = 3
Cheers,
