Hi, > Well, it all seems to be a question of granting users access to the > right file. Have you checked permissions on /etc/passwd and /etc/pwd.db ? These are both 644, owned by root:wheel. > These should be world readable while /etc/master.passwd and /etc/spwd.db > should not. These are both 600, owned by root:wheel. Sounds like both have their permissions set-up just fine. Nonetheless I suspect something went wrong when migrating these files from my previous FreeBSD 5.2.1-release i386 machine, to my new FreeBSD 5.4-release amd64 machine... Basically, I just copied those four files (plus the group file) across, and then rebuild the user's directory of the user that was having the login issues... > Non privileged processes access the former to convert UID to user name. That certainly makes sense. Hmm, I wonder what could be amiss?????? Cheers! Olafo
