[K12OSN] tftp problem no user nobody?

[Alan McColl]

  All,
  My terminals will not boot after a recent episode of adding / editing users and resetting 
  passwords using the Webmin (v1.29) administration web application.
  The terminals get as far as receiving an IP address, then no tftp download. I had a 
  look at /var/log/messages and it looks like there is no user named "nobody". There are entries for "nobody" in both the 
  /etc/password and /etc/shadow files. User "nobody" can be seen in both the Redhat "users / groups" application and Webmin.
  Here is a tail of /var/log/messages
  Thank you for any help,
  Al
