Details:
coreutils-6.10
By just installing nss_ldap and adding it to passwd, group and shadow in
/etc/nsswitch.conf, the below happens:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# id miura
uid=501(miura) gid=502(miura)id: failed to get groups for user `miura': No
such
file or directory
but:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# getent passwd miura
miura:x:501:502::/home/miura:/bin/bash
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# getent group miura
miura:x:502:
Notice that it is not even required to have an ldap server around, nor to
configure /etc/ldap.conf.
Downgrading to coreutils-6.9 makes the problem go away.
I tracked it to a change in getugroups() and came up with the attached
patch.
