Id command does not return correct username

On server1 the "id" command works fine and returns "myuser" user as was expected. Below are the details of the good server.

Code:

$ id -nu 501
myuser

$ cat /etc/system-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.6 (Maipo)

$ uname -a
Linux server1 3.10.0-957.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Oct 4 20:48:51 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

$ id
uid=501(myuser) gid=501(was) groups=501(was),1005(coluser)

$ cat /etc/passwd | grep myuser
myuser:x:501:501::/home/myuser:/bin/bash

$ cat /etc/passwd | grep 501
myuser:x:501:501::/home/myuser:/bin/bash

However on server2 the command does not return myuser user as was expected. Below are the details of the problematic server.

Code:

$  id -nu 501
id: 501: No such user

$ cat /etc/system-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.10 (Santiago)

$ uname -a
Linux server2 2.6.32-754.23.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Sep 17 09:46:55 EDT 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

$ id
uid=501(myuser) gid=501(staff) groups=501(staff),507(coluser)
 
$ cat /etc/passwd | grep myuser
myuser:x:501:501::/home/wlsadmin:/bin/bash

$ cat /etc/passwd | grep 501
myuser:x:501:501::/home/wlsadmin:/bin/bash
myadmin:x:502:501::/home/myadmin:/bin/bash

Can you please suggest how can I get id -nu 501 to display myuser user on problematic server2 ?

sc

SC(4)							   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						     SC(4)

NAME

     sc -- Sun Sun-2 SCSI bus host adaptor driver

SYNOPSIS

   sun2
     sc0 at mbmem0 addr 0x80000 ipl 2
     sc1 at mbmem0 addr 0x84000 ipl 2

   sun2 and sun4
     sc0 at vme0 addr 0x200000 irq 2 vec 0x40

DESCRIPTION

     The sc driver provides support for the Sun Microsystems "Sun-2" SCSI Bus Controller chipset found on various VME boards (Sun part #s
     501-1045, 501-1138, 501-1149, and 501-1167) and on the "Sun-2 SCSI/Serial" (Sun part # 501-1006) Multibus board.

     All versions of this driver can be configured with a flags directive in the config(1) file.  The values are bits in a bitfield, and are
     interpreted as follows:

	   0x0ff    Set bit (1<<target) to disable SCSI parity checking
	   0x100    Set this bit to disable DMA interrupts (poll)
	   0x200    Set this bit to disable DMA entirely (use PIO)

     For example: "flags 0x1ff" would disable DMA interrupts, and disable parity checking for targets 0-7.  The "target" is the SCSI ID number of
     a particular device on a particular SCSI bus.

BUGS

     This SCSI chipset is rumored to have bugs in its handling of SCSI parity, therefore it is recommended that you disable parity on all SCSI
     devices connected to this controller, and configure it with a 0x0ff value for its flags directive in the config(1) file.

     This chipset has no support for raising the ATN signal, so there is no way to ever schedule a MSG_OUT phase on the bus.  Currently, the
     driver will ultimately reset the bus if this phase is ever requested by the upper layer SCSI driver.

     This chipset has no support for SCSI disconnect/reselect.	This means that slow devices, such as tape drives, can hog, or "lock up" the SCSI
     bus.

     This driver has not been tested in combination with non-SCSI devices behind Emulex or Adaptec bridges, which are common in Sun 2s and in Sun
     Shoebox-type configurations.  These devices pre-date the SCSI-I spec, and might not behave the way the chipset code currently expects.
