** Summary changed: - nss-ldap fails to resolve groups + 'id' fails to resolve groups when used with nss-ldap
** Description changed: - Binary package hint: libnss-ldap + Binary package hint: coreutils When using LDAP as a users/group storage and name service switch to get them from, one can notice that for some users their group information cannot be fetched. This could fail for both local-users and ldap-users, as well can be successfull for ldap-users. $ id root uid=0(root) gid=0(root)Aborted (core dumped) As a normal user: $ id avahi uid=108(avahi) gid=118(avahi)Aborted (core dumped) As root: $ sudo id avahi uid=108(avahi) gid=118(avahi)id: failed to get groups for user `avahi': No such file or directory $ id toor uid=1000(toor) gid=1000(A_Mathematics) groups=1000(A_Mathematics),4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),25(floppy) 'toor' is the only 'local' user for wich the call succeeds! Note, in this example, that '1000(A_Mathematics)' is a group from LDAP, all others are from /etc/group. 'feisty' and 'gutsy' , as well as 'Debian 4.0' machines always resolve groups from the same LDAP server. Also tested on a LDAP server with only 2 users and 2 groups, always fails for Hardy and works for older versions. This problem prevents most of local daemons (avahi, dbus, etc.) from start! Workaround: disable ldap for groups in /etc/nsswitch.conf, so that users are resolved both from files and ldap while groups only from files. libnss-ldap: 258-1ubuntu2 libc6: 2.7-5ubuntu2 ** Changed in: coreutils (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: libnss-ldap => coreutils -- 'id' fails to resolve groups when used with nss-ldap https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200454 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
