Hi,
Well, it all seems to be a question of granting users access to the
right file. Have you checked permissions on /etc/passwd and /etc/pwd.db ?
These are both 644, owned by root:wheel.
These should be world readable while /etc/master.passwd and /etc/spwd.db
should not.
These are both 600, owned by root:wheel.
Sounds like both have their permissions set-up just fine. Nonetheless I
suspect something went wrong when migrating these files from my previous
FreeBSD 5.2.1-release i386 machine, to my new FreeBSD 5.4-release amd64
machine...
Basically, I just copied those four files (plus the group file) across,
and then rebuild the user's directory of the user that was having the
login issues...
Non privileged processes access the former to convert UID to user name.
That certainly makes sense. Hmm, I wonder what could be amiss??????
Cheers!
Olafo
