As one of possible fix, we can change getent to getent -s files, or rewrite scriptlets in another smart way. Note: Even in 12.1, calling getent is probably unwanted, as it can hang scriptlet on network timeout.

My wild guess is: - somebody thought to be very clever and added/moved the system accounts to LDAP - the above steps are NOT what is really done, adding LDAP as authentication source seems to be missing. - no system user will be created. If my guess is correct, then everything works as designed and wanted. There is no bug in the system. The only "bug" is that somebody added the system accounts to LDAP. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Well, my test in the comment 2 may be confusing.

It was done in chroot environment, and getent got the value from nscd running in the root system. sshd UID is not in LDAP. However "getent passwd --service=files sshd" works correctly even in chroot.

It does work correct for your special case, but not in general.

So the bug may be invalid, or the same problem may affect installation process. (I don't know, whether nscd is running when booted from install DVD.)

nscd is not running when booting from install media, and I doubt that your problem has anything to do with the original one. The big question is, if a openSUSE 12.1 installer is able at all to install FACTORY. According to Coolo, no, openSUSE 12.1 installer does not need to be able to install Factory, thus => invalid. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
