Public bug reported: Binary package hint: libnss-ldap
This is a report and manual work around: Installed info: Jaunty on an NSLU2 ARM Description: Ubuntu 9.04 Release: 9.04 2.6.28-11-ixp4xx armv5tel Package: ii libnss-ldap 261-2.1ubuntu1 NSS module for using LDAP as a naming service Looks like the build for the armel (NSLU2 specifically) provides an incomplete symlink'd or unfinished build which doesn't allow LDAP user accounts to operate locally. A Ubuntu Jaunty i686 client with libnss_ldap installed and configured to use the NSLU2 servers works ok, but other remote NSLU2 don't. All 'getent passwd' operation executed on NSLU2 (local or remote) only list local accounts. Jaunty i686 to NSLU2 'getent passwd' works. Found on NSLU2 that a library symlink in /usr/lib/libnss_ldap.so referenced a non-existant /lib/libnss_ldap.so.2 lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2008-11-19 08:32 ./usr/lib/libnss_ldap.so -> /lib/libnss_ldap.so.2 r...@j-slug00:/lib# find /lib/*nss*ldap* -ls 382776 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Jun 12 15:54 /lib/nss_ldap.so -> nss_ldap.so.1 382775 80 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 76028 Nov 19 2008 /lib/nss_ldap.so.1 r...@j-slug00:/lib# There exists a file called /lib/nss_ldap.so.1, compared the entry points with a Jaunty i686 build libnss_ldap.so.2 and they match.
