sync_users (opium) should probaby be modified if LDAP ends up being supported. I assume the opium/etc/*files* would be for a cache of user account info? If so, I would think the originals themselves could serve as a user acct cache for the other auth methods. i.e. OPIUM's LDAP and NIS support could feed of those files, which would always be master.
Does that make sense?

So the files in /opt/opium are symlinked to /etc (or the other way)? Is this to support LDAP? If there's significant enough changes, then I don't know how applicable the current sync_users is. If you're using LDAP/NIS/NIS+, then sync_users seems to be irrelevant as far as user/password resolution. So... if the changes you're making are not within sync_users itself, just make it another package and have it modify the sync_users.conf.

Hello,

In order to support LDAP/NIS/NIS+/any PAM mechanism, we have to use the
'getent xxx' command instead of the 'cat /etc/xxx' command. We changed
the way of doing it in order to leave the master node file unaltered :
files for the nodes are created in /opt/opium, namely

/opt/opium/etc/passwd
/opt/opium/etc/group
/opt/opium/etc/shadow

Then the sync_user.conf has to be adjusted in order to copy the
following files :

syncfile /opt/opium/etc/passwd
syncfile /opt/opium/etc/group
syncfile /opt/opium/etc/shadow

instead of

syncfile /etc/passwd
syncfile /etc/group
syncfile /etc/shadow


As I'm not maintainer of opium, I send this information to the list ;-)


Those patches have been tested with & without LDAP on MDK 8.2 & 9.0

This will close the bug #678323
