Since nobody has commented on this, I'll follow up with my progress for the archives. nss_ldap appears to be broken in RedHat (I've tested RH9, and AWS 2.1). My first problem was with having "hosts: files ldap dns" in nsswitch.conf because that caused recursive dns lookups trying to resolve the name of the ldap server. Solved that problem by changing the line to "hosts: files dns ldap". At that point the segmentation faults go away, but ldap is never used for hostname lookups. "getent hosts" will return the entire list of hosts, but key matching does not work (getent hosts <somehost>) and name resolution doesn't work. I found that compiling and installing the nss_ldap tarball from padl.com resolves the problem (of course it's not a packaged solution). -Steve > -----Original Message----- > From: redhat-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:redhat-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Rigler, Steve > Sent: Monday, November 24, 2003 8:26 AM > To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx > Subject: RH9 - LDAP Client Oddness after up2date > > > Curious if anyone has been hit with this... > > I just up2date'd a RH9 client machine.
