Package: libc6 Version: 2.2.5-11.5 Severity: important If /etc/nsswitch.conf contains:
passwd: files ldap group: files ldap shadow: files ldap and the LDAP server isn't reachable, nobody can login. If I remove the ldap service from each of these lines then root can login on the console. However, if I try to login as root on the console many times with the above configuration and the LDAP server unreachable, it finally succeeds. Please note that I performed these tests without having nscd running. -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux halftrack 2.4.20 #1 Thu Feb 13 11:19:08 CET 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=fr_CH
