Is this strange or am I missing something.

Hey Guys,
Saw something weird today on the unix server. I got a normal access (non-root) to a new server.

But when I had a look at the /etc/passwd file, it did not contain my login id.

Atleast this is the first time I saw it ever happening.Has anyone come across such a situation and does anyone know why this could be the case.

Please note: I can login to the server as a normal user.

NAME
nwbols - List NetWare Bindery Objects SYNOPSIS
nwbols [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -C ] [ -t type ] [ -o pattern ] [ -v ] DESCRIPTION
nwbols lists the specified NetWare Bindery Objects visible for the user. nwbols looks up the file $HOME/.nwclient to find a file server, a user name and possibly a password. See nwclient(5) for more information. Please note that the access permissions of $HOME/.nwclient MUST be 600 for security reasons. OPTIONS
-h -h is used to print out a short help text. -S server server is the name of the server you want to use. -U user user is the user name to use for login. -P password password is the password to use for login. If neither -n nor -P are given, and the user has no open connection to the server, nwbols prompts for a password. -n -n should be given if no password is required for the login. -C By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off this conversion by -C. -t type You can restrict the objects listed by specifying the type of the objects to be listed. type must be given as a decimal number. -o pattern Specifying a pattern is another way to restrict the objects listed. Please note that this pattern is evaluated by the NetWare server. grep would be a better candidate for complex patterns. -v By default, the object's name, its ID and its type are listed by nwbols. In the verbose mode, activated by -v, the object flags, its security byte and the properties flag is also listed. AUTHORS
nwbols was written by Volker Lendecke. See the Changes file of ncpfs for other contributors. nwbols 7/9/1996 NWBOLS(1)
