I have these same users on other RHEL 4 servers (same version) and everything is displayed normally. The user names that I have problems with are all over eight characters long. This is not a big problem, but it is annoying to have to lookup the uid number in the password file to determine the user associated with the process.

Use 'vipw' to edit /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow. Duplicate the lines with the long usernames, and change the username closest to the top to a shorter one. E.g. lun:x:700:700::/home/longusername:/bin/bash longusername:x:700:700::/home/longusername:/bin/bash if you don't want anyone to log in using the short username, simply comment out the password in /etc/password: lun:!!:13731:0:99999:7::: longusername:$1$gUIEQ8UG$W/LDkMhA1z9UmNbRv95Fg.:13731:0:99999:7::: Hope this helps.

You need 1) a valid subscription that 2) allows you to create a incident ticket or phone in, that is the only way to get a response. Said response will be from your assigned support person. You can check your subscription status by going to https://www.redhat.com/wapps/support/protected/subscriptions.html .

But: the symlinks in /var/named to the zone files in /var/named/chroot/var/named are overwritten with real files. Can anybody tell me, which permissions I have to set to the different directories and files ? Mit freundlichen Gr??en i.A.
