Perhaps I am not understanding you correctly because that runs counter
my experience. The settings in my /etc/ldap/ldap.conf were correct
whereas the ones in /etc/libnss-ldap.conf were not. It was the search
filters from libnss-ldap.conf that were being used when I did `getent
group`. I think your telling me that getent is tied to the nss
framework so would use that config because that's what I told
nsswitch.conf to do. I would have thought, but I am no expert, that
samba would have used the config from smb.conf and that ldapsearch
(and anything else that didn't have hooks else where) would use
/etc/ldap/ldap.conf.
Please note that Debian has *two* packages for nss-ldap:
mykerinos:/home/cperrier# apt-cache search nss ldap naming service
libnss-ldap - NSS module for using LDAP as a naming service
libnss-ldapd - NSS module for using LDAP as a naming service
IIRC (but you probably want to check this), the latter is more
actively maintained than the former.
I asked about that on the samba IRC two days ago:
(14:33:17)<>: On my distro (Debian), I have two options for NSS 1)
libnss_ldap and 2) libnss_ldapd (Source: nss-pam-ldapd) . Does anyone
know which one I should use?
now I have my answer but it looks like I installed the lesser
maintained version :/
libnss_ldap.so.2 (libc6,x86-64) => /lib/libnss_ldap.so.2
libnss_ldap.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/libnss_ldap.so
libnss_ldap-2.7.so (libc6,x86-64) => /lib/libnss_ldap-2.7.so
Thanks,
Dermot.
Looks like there's a migration happening. On the libnss-ldap package
webpage ( http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/libnss-ldap ) it says:
Packages providing libnss-ldap
libnss-ldapd
Under experimental, it describes libnss-ldap as a virtual package:
http://packages.debian.org/experimental/libnss-ldap
One way or another, you will eventually have libnss-ldapd.
