Package: nslcd
Version: 0.7.15+squeeze3
Severity: grave

This may be related/the same as  #696445. I didn't want to hijack the
thread with an unrelated bug just in case. I do believe this (and the
other bug should be tagged as grave). This essentially locks you out
of ssh (if you rely on a user within ldap) upon next nslcd
restart/reboot. Depending on your setup (remote/cloud etc), this can
effectively render your machine useless.


This may have existed for a while and not be related to the recent
update. I thought someone was screwing with nslcd.conf and not telling
me when they realised it broke but it was probably updating that did
it.

I'm attaching md5sums so you can validate you have exact copies.
