Package: libnss-ldap Version: 259-1 Severity: normal The expected behavior of libnss-ldap is that at the end of the group list getgrent() returns NULL and leaves errno unchanged. How libnss-ldap actually behaves is that getgrent() returns NULL and errno is set to ENOENT. This results in problems for a few programs like id becaues getgrent() is not behaving as documented in the manpages.
# id -a root uid=0(root) gid=0(root)id: failed to get groups for user `root': No such file or directory This is also a problem with getpwent() and presumably the rest of the calls of a similar nature that can fall back to libnss-ldap. I also have a hunch that this is the underlying cause of bug #427497 but I can't duplicate that specific behavior to check. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libnss-ldap depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.19 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.7-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcomerr2 1.40.6-1 common error description library ii libkrb53 1.6.dfsg.3~beta1-3 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.7-5 OpenLDAP libraries ii libsasl2-2 2.1.22.dfsg1-18 Cyrus SASL - authentication abstra Versions of packages libnss-ldap recommends: ii libpam-ldap 184-3 Pluggable Authentication Module al pn nscd <none> (no description available) -- debconf information: * libnss-ldap/dblogin: false libnss-ldap/override: true * shared/ldapns/base-dn: dc=setec * shared/ldapns/ldap-server: ldap * libnss-ldap/confperm: false * libnss-ldap/rootbinddn: cn=manager,dc=example,dc=net * shared/ldapns/ldap_version: 3 libnss-ldap/binddn: cn=proxyuser,dc=example,dc=net * libnss-ldap/nsswitch: * libnss-ldap/dbrootlogin: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
