I am seeing errors in the same two places on 2 different systems (one
a Pentium 3 currently running glibc 2.2.3-pre3, the other a k6 running
2.2.2). On both systems, after the 'make check' has failed if I
manually run 'testgrp' from the command line (which uses the installed
glibc etc rather than the one I am testing), the outputs are
graham@barnowl:/home/graham/build/obj/grp > cat testgrp.out
Cannot find user entry for UID 501
graham@barnowl:/home/graham/build/obj/grp > ./testgrp
My login name is graham.
My uid is 501.
My home directory is /home/graham.
My default shell is /bin/bash.
My default group is users (100).
The members of this group are:
root
graham
I have looked at /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group and /etc/gshadow
and can see nothing wrong with them.
