Package: nscd Version: 2.3.2.ds1-22 Severity: critical Tags: patch Justification: breaks the whole system
nscd hangs and does not respond to requests when used on a 2.6.X kernel. This can make it impossible for anyone to log in (especially when using libnss-mysql-bg), including root (even with root in /etc/passwd). Using LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.31 appears to fix the problem. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.11-ruby Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages nscd depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an -- no debconf information
