Public bug reported: Binary package hint: authtool
I haven't found where to sent features, so I am using this: We are using LDAP for authentication even on laptops. We have quiet small LDAP database (< 100MiB) without kerberos. Because laptop needs to work even when offline or when connected to network without internet access. Using this in /etc/nsswitch.conf can lockup computer sometime (network problems). passwd: files ldap group: files ldap Therefore we use this list of packages: libnss-ldap nss-updatedb (for LDAP auth we have this libpam-ccreds libpam-ldap ) in /etc/nsswitch.conf I have this: passwd: files db group: files db /etc/libnss-ldap.conf is configured as usually. Every hour I run program: fping ldap.server && nss_updatedb ldap It downloads the LDAP database to /var/lib/misc/ every hour. The configuration is read from this location by the NSS. The current package version of nss_updatedb has a problem when LDAP server is not available - therefore the fping command. Advantage is that it is always working. For authentication we use ccreds to locally store password and LDAP is not available to authenticate against it. auth [user_unknown=ignore authinfo_unavail=ignore default=done] pam_unix.so nullok_secure auth [authinfo_unavail=ignore success=1 default=2] pam_ldap.so use_first_pass debug auth [default=done] pam_ccreds.so action=validate use_first_pass auth [default=done] pam_ccreds.so action=store use_first_pass auth [default=bad] pam_ccreds.so action=update use_first_pass ** Affects: authtool (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Caching support in authtool https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/104679 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
