A few days ago, I sent an e-mail regarding the behaviour of su - username as seen in Redhat enterprise edition v5 update 2.
Briefly if you su - username and that user name is an ldap user, no action appears to be taken. The log shows the user was accessed then immediately disconnected. We have since found that if the nscd daemon is running, the su - username command works for ldap users. But as soon as nscd is stopped, the command again fails to take any action. We also reported that if su is run with strace, the command also succeeds. Can you tell us if this is expected behaviour ?
