Related content of original passwd:

everything looks good.., the only thing I can think of now is your nsswitch.conf in the jail, or missing /lib/libnss* plugins.. (or /lib64)

WHat may be wrong with nssswitch.conf? Should I configure it?

how are you logging in right now, with ssh private keys? I suppose that's fine.

Actually I did not tried log in with user mldonkey. It is new user, supposed for one application, and I started to work with jail before I run the application. Do you think I need log in with the user first, and then define jail ?

Thanks,

Alex.
