Package: libc6 Version: 2.11.2-10 Severity: important File: libc I have the following line in /etc/nsswitch.conf:
group: ldap compat LDAP source is provided by libnss-ldapd (aka nslcd). Now suppose I have group foo in both the remote LDAP DB and local /etc/group, with different values: (LDAP) foo:*:1500:user1 (/etc/group) foo:x:500:user2 Invoking getent group will list the LDAP one before the local one, which is expected. However, getent group foo will always show the local one, ie. foo:x:500:user2 instead of the expected LDAP one. I tried running nslcd in debug mode with service nslcd stop && nslcd -d And it's clear that when I call `getent group foo`, nslcd is *not* queried. Thus I highly suspect this be a bug in glibc. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.2 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libc6 depends on: ii libc-bin 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Binaries ii libgcc1 1:4.4.5-8 GCC support library Versions of packages libc6 recommends: ii libc6-i686 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib Versions of packages libc6 suggests: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.36.1 Debian configuration management sy pn glibc-doc <none> (no description available) ii locales 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: National L -- debconf information: glibc/upgrade: true glibc/restart-services: glibc/disable-screensaver: glibc/restart-failed: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
