Public bug reported: I am using squid version 2.7.STABLE7 with users authenticating via an ActiveDirectory (AD). I am using the wbinfo_group.pl helper script for checking group memberships. After a while internet access is denied at random for some users. In the squid log I see
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/lib/squid/wbinfo_group.pl line 67, <STDIN> line 1. this message repeats from time to time, with "line 1" increasing. As described in http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-server-73 /squid-ntlm-authentication-only-first-logon-is-authenticated-723587/ I explicitly set the variable $ans. After that I get some errors about Character in 'c' format wrapped in pack at /usr/lib/squid/wbinfo_group.pl line 92, <STDIN> line 1. So I changed the function call pack("c",hex($1)) to pack("C",hex($1)) everywhere in the script. Since then everything is running smoothly. No more random errors. I have attached a diff file with the changes. I am running Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS squid version 2.7.STABLE7 If you need any more information I am happy to provide it. Thanks for your efforts B.
