I found the problem, it was missing 1 colon in that particular netgroup name in the password file. So, actually all of the users logging into that particular machine should have been having the problem. I guess the other users weren't logging into that box.

I have 1 user who can login to all the G5's except 1. When the user try to login to the particular machine the user get incorrect password. I've changed the user's password several times but the user still can't login to the server. This is the only user that is having this problem. I can login to root and su - userid as the user just fine but when I try to login directly to the server as the user or su to the user from my login I get incorrect password even though I'm typing the correct password. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Jake Jake E.
