Hi,
well, if fooworld is just on site, it is possible they do something
funky and have messed up. However, if it happens on multiple sites, then
I would guess there's a problem with your setup.
One of the standard passwordless accounts on unix is "nobody",
which is used for unprivilidged stuff. If you deleted that from the
master.passwd file, it may have caused problems. If that is what you
did, load up
vipw
and add the following line to it:
nobody:*:32767:9999::0:0:Unprivileged user:/nonexistent:/dev/null
That might help...
