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
