It's not a configuration error when the information being used is cached because the machine is away from the network where the configuration information is normally available. You are being way too rigid here and excluding perfectly valid use-cases because they don't exactly fit the original design model. i.e. rules for the sake of rules rather than because they actually make sense. You know this sort of thing drives me nuts. Perfection is the enemy of progress and success. I admit to being a perfectionist and yet I still know that perfection is not always necessary and in many cases actually stifles what would otherwise be considered success. Perfection is responsible for throwing away many otherwise successful products because it's simply unreasonable to try to make it absolutely perfect -- which in most cases doesn't have any real world impact anyway. -- account configuration not working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/456985 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to libnss-ldap in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
