Hi,
(This is more a mental note/TODO for some the future, not a critical
problem right now).
It seems that there is some configuration issue on vcs0 regarding
libnss+mysql, where non-root users can't use libnss's getgrname.
As root@vcs0, these work:
getent group coreutils
getent group foobar
As agnlocal@vcs0, then hang at getgrnam():
$ ltrace getent group coreutils
__libc_start_main(0x4022b0, 3, 0x7fff8e628868, 0x4044e0
mtrace() = <void>
setlocale(LC_ALL, "") = "C"
textdomain("libc") = "libc"
argp_parse(0x606440, 3, 0x7fff8e628868, 0) = 0
strcmp("group", "group") = 0
__errno_location() = 0x7fc1ffe9e6a0
strtoul(0x7fff8e62a910, 0x7fff8e6286f0, 10, 0) = 0
getgrnam("coreutils"
Querying all groups work (getgrent)
$ getent group | grep coreutils
coreutils:x:2992:agn,berny,eggert,ericb,meyering,pixelbeat,rwp
As well as querying by gid (getgrgid)
$ getent group 2992
coreutils:x:2992:agn,berny,eggert,ericb,meyering,pixelbeat,rwp
This isn't critical, I just encountered it when trying to extract a tar
that queried group names.
