Hi, I've come across this very strange problem.
I have a few work stations configured to use pam_ldap and nss_ldap. The portage user and portage group are on the local machines, i.e, in /etc/passwd and /etc/group. with passwd: files ldap shadow: files ldap group: files ldap in /etc/nsswitch.conf "getent passwd" shows the protage user just fine, same goes for the portage group. However emerge will not work. If I emerge a package, it fails at downloading packages, looks like it doesn't have permission to write to /usr/portage/distfiles. setting /etc/nsswitch.conf to: passwd: compat shadow: compat group: compat will allow me to emerge packages, however, ldap users won't be able to log on. Have I done anything wrong? I did google for the answer, however, I wasn't able to find any. Any help will be greatly appreciated. -- Joe -- There are 3 kinds of people in the world: Those who can count, and those who can't. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
