Package: libnss-ldap
Version: 261-2.1
Severity: critical
Hello!
As reported in bug 541188 and on the Debian users mailinglist
(ldap/libnss/ssh: (remote) login stops working after some time,
Thu, 3 Sep 2009 12:02:34 +0200), login stops to work via ssh and
partly locally after some weeks or days: If this case happens, I
- cannot login as root (neither locally, nor remotely)
- cannot login as an ldap user remotely
The error I get from ssh is
[email protected]: ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed
by remote host
The current "fix":
If I login locally as a ldap-user, I CAN login and after that I can
again login remotely, as root and as ldap user.
As Debian Lenny is installed on almost all of our cluster nodes, this is causing
a lot of trouble, as local login is very expensive for us.
If you have any hint on what could be wrong (i.e. configuration / libs / etc.)
or if you are aware of any bug in libnss* or libpam, please let me know.
The current configuration does *not* contain the debug statements anymore, that
I reported previously:
