I admin several Redhat servers, and on one of them, after I ran up2date and
brought it up to date, my own username, masonc, could not login. When I ssh
to the box using public key authentication, I get:

id: cannot find name for user ID 503
id: cannot find name for user ID 503
[I have no [EMAIL PROTECTED] ]$ 

I cannot su to the user from root.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] masonc]# su masonc
could not open session


However, the user exists:
Mar 16 07:58:02 server3 sshd(pam_unix)[3385]: session opened for user masonc
by (uid=0)

And there is an entry in /etc/passwd

The user worked fine before I rebooted. Any idea what is wrong?
