Of course it is possible to reproduce this on a clean 13.04 system. I did that in fact by installing a clean 13.04 system as a virtual machine and then just installing the libnss-ldap package together with our modified /etc/ldap.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf. After doing so sudo immediately crashes.
Regarding installing a local LDAP server, this is not possible in our case. We are using a public LDAP server of our institute which contains thousands of users and even more groups. In fact, I suspect the amount of users and groups to be one reason for the crash, but haven't verified/investigated that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to libnss-ldap in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1185699 Title: libnss-ldap crashes in libc-2.17.so when using sudo/sshd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libnss-ldap/+bug/1185699/+subscriptions -- 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
