We have an issue where upon reboot of our server we end up with missing users. Upon initial boot the passwd file seems fine but after a few minutes it gets modified and users go missing. The only thing I noticed is that the dataskq process shows up around the same time the passwd file is modified.

Does anyone know what could be happening here?
 
off hand, check the master password file - if the master file is different and a reboot may be using it to redo the standard passwd file, not sure why , but its worth a check

Are you referring to the shadow file? I'm not familiar with a master password file. As far as the shadow file they should be relatively in sync. There may be a couple inconsistencies but we have losing 10,000+ users upon reboot.
 
Hello,

Do you have by any chance a failed RAID mirror? Or booted from an older HDD?
