Package: mysql-server Version: 4.0.24-1 Followup-For: Bug #299270 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
after looking in the strace, i saw lots of stuff related to ldap (some user and group account info is stored in ldap on my systems). so, i thought to myself "what if i disable ldap?". disabling ldap in nsswitch.conf makes the problem go away. now, the strange part, is that if i re-enable ldap for passwd but not group, the server starts just fine. the only time it doesn't start is when group is configured to use ldap (though mysql is a locally defined group). since this is only going to affect a select group of users (those who use ldap), i'm going to lower the severity of my bug from grave to important. sean - -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.7-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages mysql-server depends on: ii adduser 3.52 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf 1.4.22 Debian configuration management sy ii gawk 1:3.1.3-3 GNU awk, a pattern scanning and pr ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdbi-perl 1.40-1 The Perl5 Database Interface by Ti ii libmysqlclient12 4.0.24-1 mysql database client library ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.4-9 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii mailx 1:8.1.2-0.20031014cvs-2 A simple mail user agent ii mysql-client 4.0.24-1 mysql database client binaries ii mysql-common 4.0.24-1 mysql database common files (e.g. ii passwd 1:4.0.3-30.10 change and administer password and ii perl 5.8.4-8 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii psmisc 21.5-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-3 compression library - runtime - -- debconf information excluded -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCM827ynjLPm522B0RAgUuAJwNU93KGHKsmDab3/xIXWO4HnfHRgCeICxc H/y9S2BUCsvl8Pz8slFh/3U= =YIf6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
