I have spent the last couple of days wrestling with some major problems, and discovered that both are caused by the recent nss_ldap fix. I'm going to submit some bug reports on Bugzilla, but I just thought I would see if anyone else was suffering from the same thing.
Briefly (on SuSE 10.2):
(1) dhcpd will not start: it falls over immediately after forking. Can be worked round by starting in debug mode.
(2) If a terminal session starts when nscd is not running then no processes can be run at all, e.g. typing 'date' produces no output and simply returns a new shell prompt
I have submitted two bug reports: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=359612 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=359616
One other person reported a bad experience with the new nss_ldap, but the general lack of reaction suggests that there is something fairly specific about the LDAP setup here which is triggering the bug. For the moment I have solved the problem by reverting to the older version, but obviously I am not keen on reintroducing a security bug.
Our maintainer will review and get back to us, and we will release a fixed version once we find out what is broken :) Ciao, Marcus --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-security+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-security+help@opensuse.org
