Hi, I triggered this failure (http://pastebin.com/Lw6a0p4J) while trying to use nix on a RHEL 6.5 configuration setup with ldap authentication ( sssd + libnss_sss ).
After a bit of research, this is due to the dependency of git on getpwuid and to the fact that the nix glibc do not have by default libnss_sss nor can use the one of the host operating system. The problem has already been reported in case of firefox ( https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/209 ). However, it is way more harmful in case of git/fetchgit : it makes impossible to compile any expression using fetchgit on a host using sssd, which is a configuration unfortunatly quite common in the academic world . What would be the best solution of this problem ? Is there any other solution than extending stdenv with libnss_sss and recompiling the entire software stack ?
