Hi

Trying to modify the /etc/nsswitch.conf , I found that I can't write it 
! The file is writable only by the user which created it and which not 
exists any more (see above my story). I changed owner and access rights 
for /etc/nsswitch.conf and whole /var directory tree (also /var/cache).  
And it's started working!

Then I removed the modifications of the /etc/nsswitch.conf (all lines 
commented)  and it works too. It seems that the problem is related to 
file access rights to /var.

Tomas
