[bug #22505] id command fails to retrieve group info when nss_ldap is used

2008-03-10 Thread Ralf Haferkamp
Follow-up Comment #2, bug #22505 (project coreutils): Regarding nss_ldap, I guess that this was a bug in nss_ldap it was setting errno explicitly to ENOENT. That problem should be fixed with the latest nss_ldap release (260). Probably the NSS module handling nisplus has the same problem.
