Thanks for the suggestion. I ran the strace with both the new, problematic nss_ldap, and the old version that works. I find three places where broken pipes result. Since this is obviously not an SL specific issue, I'm moving my debugging off the list. It looks like this is already reported as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=447881 No solution yet, though. -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Jeffrey Anderson | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory | Office: 50A-5104E | Mailstop 50A-5101 Phone: 510 486-4208 | Fax: 510 486-6808
