Package: accountsservice Version: 0.6.15-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, I run an LDAP enabled system. I use the pam-ldapd versions, rather than the older pam-ldap versions. Network manager is installed and working well. The system also runs systemd.
Sometimes (it's clearly a bit of a race condition) gdm won't allow me to login to an LDAP account. Killing GDM doesn't help. getent passwd shows that the nsswitch is working fine and loads the LDAP accounts. GDM login screens remain frustratingly non-working however. To fix the problem I have to kill the accountsservice/accounts-daemon process that's running. I think GDM respawns it, but I'm not sure. However, it's clear that accountsservice/accounts-daemon loaded prior to LDAP becoming available because it beat the network in coming up. It should probably be a bit smarter in how it works with pam/nss to resolve users and authorization. As a corollary if accountsservice beats the network and doesn't know the LDAP users, GDM won't show them in the user list. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (501, 'unstable'), (499, 'testing'), (399, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.1.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages accountsservice depends on: ii dbus 1.5.8-1 ii libaccountsservice0 0.6.15-1 ii libc6 2.13-21 ii libdbus-1-3 1.5.8-1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.98-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.30.2-4 ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 0.102-1 accountsservice recommends no packages.
