** Description changed:

  If your account is an LDAP one and your LDAP client connects to its LDAP 
server via SSL then running setuid programs from your account fail since 
libgcrypt11 is horribly broken and upstream GnuTLS no longer recommends using 
it as the backend crypto library:
  http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2011/02/msg00006.html
+ 
+ In the past it was possible to work around this by using nscd but that
+ work around no longer has any effect.
  
  When I rebuild gnutls26 with nettle I am able to use setuid binaries
  from my LDAP account which connects via SSL to its LDAP server.
