Product: nss_ldap
Component: nss_ldap
Summary: Using nss_ldap, machine will not shutdown or reboot
cleanly
Version: 202-1mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: P2
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
When ldap is added to /etc/nsswitch.conf the machine will not shutdown or reboot
cleanly. It looks like what's happening is that the libraries are on the /usr
filesystem and
they are held open even after all processes are killed. If the /usr filesystem is not
on the
root partition, it cannot be unmounted.
Steps to reproduce the problem:
install nss_ldap on a machine that has /usr/lib mounted on a seperate partition from /
add ldap to nsswitch.conf per the nss_ldap documentation
reboot into single user mode
type: lsof | grep /usr
you should see ldap, sasl, and kerberos libraries
type: reboot
it should hang saying that the /usr partition can't be unmounted. The machine needs to
be powered off and the disks need to be fsck'd
removing the ldap options from /etc/nsswitch.conf makes the machine shutdown properly
again after the next reboot.
I recommend moving all of those libraries to /lib instead of /usr/lib since that is
usually on
the root partition.
