Are you using nss_ldap or something other than the default 'files' lookup? Can you post the contents of /etc/nsswitch.conf? I'd also check your master.passwd file for any syntax errors or odd characters and then force a rebuild with: pwd_mkdb -p /etc/master.passwd as root. > I immediately checked passwd, group and master.passwd files in /etc but > the entry for that user was present there.
