Ok, Ok I get the point. I agree that posting line 24 will not help, any user
except root gives the same issues. And as a last and final attempt I will
check the end of the file for any spaces as Clint suggested.
You mean you haven't check for empty lines and trailing and adjacent
spaces yet?
finally:
What if I try a master.passwd file form a working machine of same Build. If
that file does work then we can conclude it is systemic.
What are you saying?
If you try a master.passwd file from a working machine and it does work,
then we can conclude your original master.passwd file was crap.
At this point, I would say end the troubleshooting on the crappy
master.passwd file and do what Holland said. Extract a master.passwd
file from a pristine etcXX.tgz and go from there. DO NOT use a
master.passwd from another working machine. We don't need to introduce
other variables.
