Dr. Weller
If you are not using nis or nisplus then edit /etc/nsswitch.conf
like below:
.
.
# make copies of original lines if you want
#
# passwd: files nis nisplus
# shadow: files nis nisplus
# group: files nis nisplus
#
passwd: files
shadow: files
group: files
.
.
this worked for me ;-)
good luck!
