Package: passwd Version: 1:4.1.1-6 Severity: important 'pwck -s' does its job right without NIS lines in the local passwd file. It works also correct if there is only one NIS line at the end of the passwd file ( +:::::: for example ). But if the setup is a bit more complex - for example explicit allow some users and deny all others - then the order of the NIS lines is important to get this running. Unfortunately 'pwck -s' also sorts this lines in alphabetical order and the login is no longer possible.
A possible solution should be explicitly to exclude all lines startig with + from sorting and appending this lines exactly in the discovered order again after the sort process to /etc/passwd. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages passwd depends on: ii debianutils 2.30 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.10.2-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libpam-modules 1.0.1-5+lenny1 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam0g 1.0.1-5+lenny1 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libselinux1 2.0.89-4 SELinux runtime shared libraries passwd recommends no packages. passwd suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
