Hi James.
Thanks for bringing that up.
In reviewing the /etc/nsswitch.conf files they LOOKED identical. I then went into one of the errant ones and saw that passwd looked odd in the editor.
I retyped that line and the and shadow and group lines and restarted and indeed it worked. Not sure how that occurred but it did work.
Thanks Much!
Bill

Do you have nis set up in /etc/nsswitch.conf ?
