I get a similar error when running acroread7. My UID is 1000 and is not in /etc/passwd, but comes from NIS. Sadly, acroread7 bails out, if it can't resolve the UID. The fix is, to tell /compat/linux/etc/nsswitch.conf to look at NIS too. It's a minor inconvenience, that nsswitch.conf gets clobbered every time linux_base is reinstalled (and thereby breaking acroread7 for me). Robert: Is UID 0 in your /etc/passwd? Can you try changeing /compat/linux/etc/nsswitch.conf to something like this: passwd: files nisplus nis shadow: files nisplus nis group: files nisplus nis Ulrich Spoerlein --=20 PGP Key ID: F0DB9F44 Encrypted mail welcome!
