In those cases, the nss_ldap module would then recurse into itself. If the host name resolution path involved taking a lock, the process would get stuck, and if it didn't, it would encounter the same problem and keep recursing until it crashed. > And in /etc/ldap.conf: > > nss_base_hosts ou=Hosts,dc=foobar,dc=org?one > > If I try to do this on Fedora 15, it doesn't work at all. Is there a way to do this without having to install 'nss_ldap'? I also would like to get the 'netgroups' from LDAP... this was also working with Fedora 13. If you're using nss-pam-ldapd, you'd want to put something like this in your /etc/nslcd.conf and make sure the nslcd service is started: base hosts ou=Hosts,dc=foobar,dc=org?one HTH, Nalin -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
