How do I "debug" this to track down my error? Check your /etc/nsswitch.conf. Some months ago I had the same problem. It was nsswitch.conf. nsswitch.conf with "compat" don't work for me. Maybe you have the same problem. Now I have in my nsswitch.conf: passwd: files nis group: files nis shadow: files nis ... I houpe that help :) /* I'm sorry for my terrible english because isn't my native language */ Pozdrawiam/Gruß/Regards Robert Rakowicz -- Robert Rakowicz E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL: www.rjap.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
