Quoting Roman Drahtmueller (draht@suse.de) on Fri, Dec 22, 2000 at 02:30:01PM +0100:
I can easily imagine a lot of people that just installed linux being lost, and rebooting their machine to see "if it works this way". And the worst part is, it does work after the reboot...
Someone should have a talk with the glib/nsdc people ;-)
This has been taken care of ini the design already. Take a look at /etc/nscd.conf, starting with SuSE-6.4 or 7.0 (don't know exactly) there
Hmm, that still doesn't fix all the nasty other effects with UIDs. At my previous employer (a German Linux company) I used to disable NSCD on all systems I ever configured. My colleagues did or still do the same (Hi MGE!). So far it only made sense to enable nscd on systems with network authentication (NIS, LDAP). cheers afx -- atsec information security GmbH Phone: +49-89-44249830 Steinstrasse 68 Fax: +49-89-44249831 D-81667 Muenchen, Germany WWW: www.atsec.com May the Source be with you!
