Currently it is: > nslcd: [8b4567] <passwd="gq"> "gq": invalid user name > which means that it considers gq an invalid user name. May be refer to documentation or config option wich specify this. Well simple "username is not allowed by regexp user_regexp_config_variable" is much more informative.

I don't know internals (why do you need this regexp etc.), but this sounds not very good: you made some restrictions just because code is too complex without them. This is normal situation for regular package, I think, but nslcd is a mainstream replacement for widely used pam-ldap/nss-ldap. Again: it's all up to you but may be it would be better if you leave this as todo or wishlist task. Anyway, thanks for your work. -- Best regards, Alexander GQ Gerasiov Contacts: e-mail: [email protected] Jabber: [email protected] Homepage: http://gq.net.ru ICQ: 7272757 PGP fingerprint: 04B5 9D90 DF7C C2AB CD49 BAEA CA87 E9E8 2AAC 33F1 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
