1. What does the command 'id' report?  Or, 'id -un'?

2. Have you recently changed the contents of /etc/passwd?
   What are the permissions and ownership of this file?
   What are the permissions and ownership of '/etc'?

3. What bash initialization files are you using, i.e., /etc/profile,
   ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile, ~/.profile?  Have you tried renaming
   those files or using the '--noprofile' and '--norc' optios?
   Have you checked their permissions and ownership?
