Package: nslcd Version: 0.9.12-3 Severity: normal When nslcd is installed with noninteractive debconf frontend (perhaps also interactively, I didn't check), guess_ldap_uri tries to find an appropriate ldap server using some heuristics. If it finds a host named ldap, ldap.$domain, dirhost, or dirhost.$domain using getent hosts, it returns the IP address of the host rather than the name. This seems wrong to me for at least two reasons.
First, a host can have multiple IP addresses. If it does, you definitely want to use the name rather than the IP address. Second, even if the host has only one IP address, it seems much more likely for the host's IP address to change (for whatever administrative reason) than for the host to be renamed. ...Marvin
