Hi Have anybody find a solution for this ? I am running the FC3 final and still experience the same problem.
Hi, Could you post your /etc/nsswitch.conf file? Also what does the command getent passwd return?
Does this only happen the first time you boot after a fresh install or does this happen every time?
I found the solution for this. The default of /etc/sysconfig/authconfig is USENIS=no Change it to "yes" and reboot.
Seems to be gone for me. There were some problems with the FC3 NIS server as well.
