Are you running any directory services like LDAP or NIS? What does nsswitch.conf look like, please?

Here's nsswitch.conf (with comments removed): passwd: files shadow: files group: files hosts: files dns bootparams: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files ethers: files netmasks: files networks: files protocols: files rpc: files services: files netgroup: files publickey: nisplus automount: files aliases: files nisplus
Not running ldap, NIS or any other authentication mechanisms but the default. Here's an entire ps-ef:
