Re: Red Hat Appears to Ignore Secondary Groups for LDAP Users

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This is bizarre, now it's working for the first time ever. I am not running nscd either and I did not change a thing. Yesterday I even called Red Hat support and reported the problem. They were baffled too.

While on the phone yesterday, we confirmed the following...

   Selinux is permissive
   no acls
   no attr
   The gid is above 500 (we tested another file with a gid over 1,000
   just in case)
   no nscd service running
   id while the ldap user is logged in shows secondary ldap groups.
   Getent passwd and getent group show ldap users and groups


Any ideas what happened here? I do not want to run into this problem again when I add a few hundred users to the system and place it in production.

Thanks

Given the LDAP user "t-bone" with the following group set...

   % id
   uid=9066(t-bone) gid=121(a00121) groups=121(a00121),144(a00144) \
       context=user_u:system_r:unconfined_t

   % groups
   a00121 a00144


The following operations that should work on a Linux ext3 file system,
fail...

   % ls -la
   drwxr-x---  2 root   a00144 4096 Mar 19 13:29 a00144
   -r--r-----  1 root   a00144   29 Feb 27 18:34 date

   % ls a00144
   ls: a00144: Permission denied

   % cat date
   cat: date: Permission denied


Note that file and directory access via the primary group, gid=121(a00121),
works fine.

Did I setup something wrong or is this a real bug?

Thanks.


That should work, it works here with groups supplied by LDAP.
What are the permissions on the entire path leading to the directory containing a00144 and date?

What do you get if you use getent to display the group a00144?

# getent group a00144
