As this only happens with "getent -s ldap" or "host: files ldap" in /etc/nsswitch.conf. Which is broken by design anyways. -- 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.

And as the segfault only occurs in broken configs I don't think it's worth include the patch in our package. Broken config here means: 1. nss_ldap is configured to be used for hostname lookups and the "uri" directive of ldap.conf contains a hostname with is not resolvable via nss_files (/etc/hosts). Therefore nss_ldap tries to contact the ldap server to resolve the hostname of the ldap server (recursion). 2. in the "getent -s ldap group" case the NSS config is basically redefined so that every database just contains "ldap" that means: passwd: ldap group: ldap host: ldap .... This can't work for the reason explained above. To make the getent call succeed it can e.g. be called with the following args: getent -s "group: ldap" ldap Closing as wontfix. -- 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.
