Hello, I found my debian/testing computer was hanging on startup. udev was trying to contact LDAP (via NSS), but LDAP wasn't configured yet.
After much trial and error I came up with: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# tethereal -r /root/tethereal -V | grep Filter: Filter: (&(objectClass=posixGroup)(cn=nvram)) Filter: (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=tss)) Filter: (&(objectClass=posixGroup)(cn=tss)) Filter: (&(objectClass=posixGroup)(cn=fuse)) Filter: (&(objectClass=posixGroup)(cn=rdma)) Filter: (&(objectClass=posixGroup)(cn=rdma)) All of these users and groups mentioned in /etc/udev/permissions.rules, but none of these users or groups exist in /etc/passwd or /etc/group. So NSS naturally tried resolving them using LDAP (the second preference listed in /etc/nsswitch.conf). Is this a bug in Debian, or a sign of something weird (and perhaps ancient history) on my computer? What should be creating the above users/groups? Could udevd be changed to make debugging these issues easier, e.g. maybe some sort of verbose mode? Should I file any bug reports, if so what packages? Thanks. -- Brian May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
