nslcd/nss-pam-ldapd has its own share of problems. I would say that calling SSSD unproven is unjustified. It exists for quite some time, is actively developed and solves many problems that are still present - partly per design - with nslcd/nss-pam-ldapd. Finally, configuration with SSSD is much easier and much less error prone than the old nslcd /nss-pam-ldapd-combo. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/507089 Title: thunderbird shredder always segfaults on startup with LDAP auth in nsswitch To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/seamonkey/+bug/507089/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have a similar problem. I'm adding what may be more details to aid in solving. I use LDAP for authentication and I have nscd installed. Thunderbird has been working without issue until yesterday when I changed hosts in nsswitch.conf to use ldap as shown below; Changed: hosts: files dns [NOTFOUND=return] to the following; hosts: files ldap dns [NOTFOUND=return] This change resulted in seg faults with no other warning. I was able to create an alternate user profile and that would work, but when trying to get back to the current user, the seg fault would return.

Create New Account - Write your full name and Email address - Continue Now you will get an Message saying: Thunderbird failed to find setting for your email account. - that's OK Now fill out needed information AND DO NOT RE-TEST-CONFIGURATION. Click on Manual Setup - which then creates a configuration for your email account. Now you can precisely configure your account as you like. When finished confirm the new configuration with OK and take your thunderbird online. That's it. In this case you say your client to not be smart and try to configure him self, while online. You do it your configuration offline and force thunderbird to try you configuration when online. This problem exist obviously only if you let thunderbird discover the settings.

Here's a workaround. Add yourself as a local user in /etc/passwd /etc/shadow and it'll work. To confirm, run getent passwd | grep your uid and you should see 2 entries, the local and the ldap.

[Bug 507089] Re: thunderbird shredder always segfaults on startup with LDAP auth in nsswitch
Something definitely funky with ldap users and thunderbid (tested
versions = 2.0.0.23). I can run thunderbird as a non-ldap user just
fine, but as soon as trying it with and ldap user it seg faults.
I've tried 3.6 all the way down to 2.0.0.23 and it's the same thing for
each version.
