I've wrestled a bit with transferring users from a directadmin on Fedora over to a Debian 5.0 system however somehow it didn't work correctly.

After some debugging I've found that the dataskq binary had some troubles on debian (to be more precise: it segfaulted on a getservbyname() call).

Solution is simple:

Remove all db references in your /etc/nsswitch.conf so

protocols: db files

becomes:

protocols: files

This stops crashing the dataskq and restores all data correctly again. Looks like a debian-only bug.
