Package: libc6
Version: 2.11.2-10
Severity: important
File: libc
I have the following line in /etc/nsswitch.conf:
group: ldap compat
LDAP source is provided by libnss-ldapd (aka nslcd). Now suppose I have
group foo in both the remote LDAP DB and local /etc/group, with
different values:
(LDAP) foo:*:1500:user1
(/etc/group) foo:x:500:user2
Invoking
getent group
will list the LDAP one before the local one, which is expected. However,
getent group foo
will always show the local one, ie. foo:x:500:user2 instead of the
expected LDAP one. I tried running nslcd in debug mode with
service nslcd stop && nslcd -d
And it's clear that when I call `getent group foo`, nslcd is *not*
queried. Thus I highly suspect this be a bug in glibc.
