Thanks for your suggestion. I use 'files' lookup. As You wrote I checked the syntax with pwd_mkdb -C /etc/passwd' and it returned nothing. Then I did a rebuild with -p, and now it seems to be okay, the two accounts that had gone away are working now. Anyway I haven't changed the nsswitch.conf, I have the default one: root@server# less /etc/nsswitch.conf group: compat group_compat: nis hosts: files dns networks: files passwd: compat passwd_compat: nis shells: files Cheers, Gábor Kövesdán >What are you using for user lookups?
