Well - the validnames option only appears in the config file for v0.8.2 of nslcd.conf.
I realize the difference between nslcd and nscd - another sysadmin switched our Ubuntu 10.04 installs to using libpam-ldapd (which requires nslcd) to fix some problem with the old package - which I cannot replicate and he cannot remember entirely :) The version in Ubuntu Lucid is unfortunately 0.7.2 - so the very welcome validnames option in v0.8.2 is really not helpful, as I can only run LTS versions in my production environment. Would you welcome a patch against the 0.7.2 package, which added the validnames option ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/841660 Title: nslcd complains about / in groupnames To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nss-pam-ldapd/+bug/841660/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
