Ah, sorry, this was actually two Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid) hosts, with slapd 2.4.21-0ubuntu5.3 on the server and nslcd, libpam-ldapd and libnss-ldapd 0.7.2 on the client. I'm pretty sure nscd wasn't installed at the time. I was using slapo-ppolicy on the server, which AFAICT nslcd doesn't support yet -- I was exploring different workarounds for #566351, which breaks sudo-ldap (#545414) when using PADL over ldaps://. Normally I would reproduce the problem under Debian *before* sending the bug report to debbugs, but I was about to fall asleep and I didn't want to forget about the bug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
