Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: libnss-ldap
This is a report and manual work around:
Installed info:
Jaunty on an NSLU2 ARM
Description: Ubuntu 9.04
Release: 9.04
2.6.28-11-ixp4xx armv5tel
Package:
ii libnss-ldap 261-2.1ubuntu1 NSS
module for using LDAP as a naming service
Looks like the build for the armel (NSLU2 specifically) provides an incomplete
symlink'd or unfinished build which doesn't allow LDAP user accounts to operate
locally. A Ubuntu Jaunty i686 client with libnss_ldap installed and configured
to use the NSLU2 servers works ok, but other remote NSLU2 don't.
All 'getent passwd' operation executed on NSLU2 (local or remote) only
list local accounts. Jaunty i686 to NSLU2 'getent passwd' works.
Found on NSLU2 that a library symlink in /usr/lib/libnss_ldap.so
referenced a non-existant /lib/libnss_ldap.so.2
lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2008-11-19 08:32 ./usr/lib/libnss_ldap.so ->
/lib/libnss_ldap.so.2
r...@j-slug00:/lib# find /lib/*nss*ldap* -ls
382776 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Jun 12 15:54
/lib/nss_ldap.so -> nss_ldap.so.1
382775 80 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 76028 Nov 19 2008
/lib/nss_ldap.so.1
r...@j-slug00:/lib#
There exists a file called /lib/nss_ldap.so.1, compared the entry
points with a Jaunty i686 build libnss_ldap.so.2 and they match.
Manual installed workaround solution:
Create a symlink for libnss_ldap.so.2 -> nss_ldap.so.1 in /lib
r...@j-slug00:/ # getent passwd | grep john
r...@j-slug00:/ # cd /lib
r...@j-slug00:/lib#
r...@j-slug00:/lib# ln -s nss_ldap.so libnss_ldap.so.2
r...@j-slug00:/lib# getent passwd | grep john
john:x:1000:10000:John Doe:/home/john:/bin/bash
r...@j-slug00:/lib#
Build logfile for ARM shows the build kit problem:
drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2008-11-19 08:32 ./lib/
-rw-r--r-- root/root 76028 2008-11-19 08:31 ./lib/nss_ldap.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2008-11-19 08:32 ./usr/lib/libnss_ldap.so ->
/lib/libnss_ldap.so.2
lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2008-11-19 08:32 ./lib/nss_ldap.so ->
nss_ldap.so.1
