Dear all,

It turns out that Jan gave the working solution. It is weird that on all
of the clients nscd was on, but not on the server. I don't think I
changed these settings. But after I disable nscd, everything works.

I did know that there are MINUID and MINGID, they were not the problem.
Thanks to all of you!

Best regards,
K.K.Liang
