The only thing it seems to be affecting at the moment is an install of qmail/vpopmail. When adding a domain, the ownership is the id/gid of the next user in the passwd file, ie it should be 1009, but it is always coming up as 1010. On a previous fresh install, I had a similar problem with apache not wanting to start with user ID www, it tried to use the default "nobody". When I added nobody in, it worked quite happily, as www... The machine is a Netfinity 5100, nothing special on it, single processor. Could someone help me narrow the problem down please? It's driving me mad! The password file looks fine, authentication of users is fine and everything else seems to be working OK.
