Looks like it's still busted with latest 'aptiude upgrade' in karmic 64bit Server. I tried to work-around by copying /lib/libnss_ldap-2.8.so /lib/libnss_ldap.so.2 and /usr/lib/libnss_ldap.so from Jaunty host to karmic host (as questioned above) but 'su -' still failed.
from root, 'su -' to a localuser is fine, but if we 'su -' from localuser to ldap user we get errors [r...@karmic64 ~] # su - localuser localu...@karmic64:~$ su - ldap_user384 Password: setgid: Operation not permitted if we 'su -' from root to an ldap user, it works OK [r...@karmic64 ~] # su - ldap_user384 No directory, logging in with HOME=/ [ldap_user...@karmic64 /] $ can also 'su -' from ldap user to local user successfully [ldap_user...@karmic64 /] $ su - localuser Password: localu...@karmic64:~$ - nscd is running but does not fix - ldap is running over SSL - 'ssl off' in /etc/ldap.conf and /etc/ldap/ldap.conf does not fix problem - nsswitch.conf has "files ldap" for group, shadow and passwd -- NSS using LDAP on Karmic breaks 'su' and 'sudo' https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/423252 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
