Mine says: root@fireball / # id man uid=14357(man) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),15(man) root@fireball / # It doesn't match yours but it has something there. I'm surprised that doing a emerge -C and then emerging it again didn't fix it but I guess it adds something to those files but doesn't remove it when uninstalled. So, I did some editing. The old line, I commented it out. Then it emerged and added the new line. man:x:13:15:System user; man:/dev/null:/sbin/nologin #man:!:14357:0:99999:7::: With it set like that, it emerges. This is what the output of your command looks like now. root@fireball / # id man uid=13(man) gid=15(man) groups=15(man) root@fireball / # Now it matches yours. Is this a bug or something? I don't tend to mess with that file myself. :/ Dale :-) :-)
