Also, when I traced sshd in debug mode using gdb, I've found that /usr/src/lib/libc/gen/getcap.c lines 246 - 274 work properly and return the valid "root" entry from the login database and that code is enclosed in the else statement that is a part of "if (fd >= 0)" construction. So, I apparently, something gets to getent around cgetent with already existing file descriptor which causes a different portion of code to be executed (instead of 246 - 274) which in its turn causes a problem. Perhaps the descriptor is poing to a wrong file?
