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 ?

if_cas

CAS(4)							   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						    CAS(4)

NAME

     cas -- Sun Cassini/Cassini+ and National Semiconductor DP83065 Saturn Gigabit Ethernet driver

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:

	   device miibus
	   device cas

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

	   if_cas_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The cas driver provides support for the Sun Cassini/Cassini+ and National Semiconductor DP83065 Saturn Gigabit Ethernet controllers found on-
     board in Sun UltraSPARC machines and as add-on cards.

     All controllers supported by the cas driver have TCP/UDP checksum offload capability for both receive and transmit, support for the reception
     and transmission of extended frames for vlan(4) and an interrupt coalescing/moderation mechanism as well as a 512-bit multicast hash filter.

     The cas driver also supports Jumbo Frames (up to 9022 bytes), which can be configured via the interface MTU setting.  Selecting an MTU larger
     than 1500 bytes with the ifconfig(8) utility configures the adapter to receive and transmit Jumbo Frames.

HARDWARE

     The chips supported by the cas driver are:

     o	 National Semiconductor DP83065 Saturn Gigabit Ethernet
     o	 Sun Cassini Gigabit Ethernet
     o	 Sun Cassini+ Gigabit Ethernet

     The following add-on cards are known to work with the cas driver at this time:

     o	 Sun GigaSwift Ethernet 1.0 MMF (Cassini Kuheen) (part no. 501-5524)
     o	 Sun GigaSwift Ethernet 1.0 UTP (Cassini) (part no. 501-5902)
     o	 Sun GigaSwift Ethernet UTP (GCS) (part no. 501-6719)
     o	 Sun Quad GigaSwift Ethernet UTP (QGE) (part no. 501-6522)
     o	 Sun Quad GigaSwift Ethernet PCI-X (QGE-X) (part no. 501-6738)

NOTES

     On sparc64 the cas driver respects the local-mac-address? system configuration variable which can be set in the Open Firmware boot monitor
     using the setenv command or by eeprom(8).	If set to ``false'' (the default), the cas driver will use the system's default MAC address for
     all of its devices.  If set to ``true'', the unique MAC address of each interface is used if present rather than the system's default MAC
     address.

     Supported interfaces having their own MAC address include on-board versions on boards equipped with more than one Ethernet interface and all
     add-on cards.

SEE ALSO

     altq(4), miibus(4), netintro(4), vlan(4), eeprom(8), ifconfig(8)

HISTORY

     The cas device driver appeared in FreeBSD 8.0 and FreeBSD 7.3.  It is named after the cas driver which first appeared in OpenBSD 4.1 and sup-
     ports the same set of controllers but is otherwise unrelated.

AUTHORS

     The cas driver was written by Marius Strobl <marius@FreeBSD.org> based on the gem(4) driver.
