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.
