to work around the GLIBC version problems
apt-get: relocation error: /lib/libnss_files.so.2: symbol _nss_files_parse_{pw,gr}ent, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference
which would occur every time an RPM script would invoke useradd or groupadd.
I suppose the following patch would also work (untested): --- mach-helper.c.orig 2003-12-11 11:55:54.000000000 -0500 +++ mach-helper.c 2004-03-04 08:58:28.000000000 -0500 @@ -123,6 +123,7 @@ /* do not trust user environment */ char *env[] = { "PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin", "HOME=/root", + "LD_PRELOAD=/lib/libnss_files.so.2", NULL }; int retval; char **arg;
Is there a mach-specific mailing list I should be writing to? (I've cc:ed Thomas on this message.)
Thanks,
