sometimes after resuming from hibernate. You can see this as follows:
- With new terminals, the prompt user name is "I have no name!".
- With new SSH sessions, you get "You don't exist, go away!"
- "Su" fails with "su: user root does not exist"
- You can't login from new VTYs (just fails)
- "ls" does not look up uids/gids
/etc/passwd is 644, and usernames do exist there. LDAP auth is not used.
Selinux is permissive. nscd is off. I do use fingerprint reader for auth but I
doubt that's relevant.
I couldn't find anything in bugzilla, and I have no idea which component to
file this against. Any ideas?
Run "strace id" and see if it is able to open and read
/etc/nsswitch.conf and /etc/passwd. If so, it would be a glibc bug. If
not, investigate why those files cannot be read.
