Okay, I have something of a solution for this problem. I have already committed the getent changes. Those are fixed now.
For the password checking portion, I'm adding a new option to ecryptfs- setup-private: --nopwcheck. This will bypass the /sbin/unix_chkpwd checking. I'll also update the usage statement and the manpage to inform users that this option is useful if the user's password is not stored in /etc/shadow (such as LDAP, perhaps). Thanks for the bug report! :-Dustin ** Also affects: ecryptfs Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: ecryptfs Importance: Undecided => Wishlist Assignee: (unassigned) => Dustin Kirkland (kirkland) Status: New => Triaged -- ecryptfs-setup-private breaks with ldap user accounts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/317307 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
