Comment 10 for bug 523896

I'm having the same problem trying to install open ssh server off a fresh install although it is set up with nss to use ldap. The file permissions are the same as on the other computers, fuser displays no processes using the file and lslk also displays no locks. The groupadd and groupmod work but the other user admin tools such as userdel don't. I've tried reinstalling the passwd package and the only error I can find in the system is from libcrypt. This was from a alternate cd install of 9.10 maybe it's best just to reinstall?
