SSH

I am getting this error with ssh authentication using auto with private kyes

this is a centos 5.3 server

Quote:

id: cannot find name for group ID 1010

If I log on as root it works fine

here are the permissions for group file

Quote:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 632 Aug 10 10:20 group

I tried google and have not come up with much

I am able to login successful without prompting for a password but would like to get rid of that error

Thanks

What's the content of the group file? Is there an entry for group 1010?

Do you have files with this GID?

ok i am not sure what happened

but pointed me to right direction i restored the group file from backups and now all is working fine, there is now a group entry with 1010 that was not there before.
