Problems mapping UID to name in V5.0

Hi All,

I just updated one of our TRU64 4.0D systems to 5.0. Everything seems
to have worked OK, except that the system can't seem to map the UID/GID to
a username/groupname for non-root users. If I do "ls -l" I get numeric
owners and groups. For example:

ls -l /etc/passwd

-rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 3258 Sep 16 10:41 /etc/passwd

I have checked the permissions on / (755), on /etc (755), on
/etc/passwd (644), and on /etc/passwd.pag and passwd.dir (644).
I can cat the passwd and group files. If I run the same commands
as root, everything works fine so this must be some sort of permission
problem. What am I missing here?
