It's returning bad owner/group because it can't resolve the uid that owns the files. It implies that they are owned by a user not in /etc/passwd or in NIS/LDAP/whatever. Check your nsswitch setup. Thanks for the quick response! That's what it looked like to me as well, except... - I am able to login in to the system just fine. - "ls -l" properly resolves both the user & group. I am running with NIS, using "passwd: compat" in /etc/nsswitch.conf. I am using "+@my_nis_net_grp::::::" as the last line in /etc/passwd. Strangely enough, adding "+::::::/bin/false" after that line fixes the problem with rpm building. Because rpm is the only program I've had a problem with, I would suspect this to be a problem within rpm, but not being familiar with the code I can't say for sure. I'm leaving this bug report RESOLVED since I've now got a workaround, though there *may* still be an issue here. Thanks! |
