Hello everyone,
I have a CentOS 5 system. On this system, I used the usermod -n and groupmod -g to change the user id and the group id for a standard, regular user from 500 to 1000.
I then ran the following commands (as root), to make sure all the files were changed to match: find / -uid 500 -exec chown 1000 {} ; -- and -- find / -gid 500 -exec chgrp 1000 {} ;
Now, whenever I try to login as that regular user, I get the following error: id: can't find name for groupd ID 500
I have checked /etc/passwd and /etc/group and both files are correctly showing 1000 as the user and group ids. I didn't see the id isn't listed in either of the shadow files. All of the files in the user's home directory have the ownership and group set to id 1000.
I have rebooted the system to make sure nothing was being stored in memory, with the same results.
Any other thoughts to look into to correct this error?
