I have a problem with a login on FreeBSD (8.3-p1) Dont' know what was done wrong, but a certain user (lets call it THATUSER) can no longer login. the entries for 'THATUSER in /etc/passwd and /etc/master.passwd are still the same as from a backup of 14 days ago (no change in encrypted passwd) The /etc/pwd.db and /etc/spwd.db are binary files so I can't check.. The home-directory of THATUSER is still present and contents looks normal .. All users have quota, but for this particular user: # quota -v THATUSER responds quota: THATUSER: unknown user # edquota -u THATUSER edquota: THATUSER: no such user # repquota /home does not show that user anymore Other users, no problem So it seems that user is unknown to the system ?? What can be the reason and how to solve ?
