getent / group / LDAP problem

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

 



Hi all,

I have RHEL 5 running as an LDAP server, and am trying to configure a second server to mimic the first one. I have created multiple groups in LDAP and assigned various users to these groups. On the second server, running 'id' from the shell doesn't show those secondary groups.

I thought there might be something wrong with nsswitch.conf, but 'getent group' is reporting the secondary groups and the users but with a 'x' in the second field:

users:x:500:user1,user2,user3

whereas on the first server, I see:

users:*:500:user1,user2,user3

Why the difference in the second field?

'id' doesn't report the secondary groups either. 'id' on the first LDAP server shows something like:

uid=501(golharam) gid=501(sansuser) groups=500(users),501(sansuser),85(cvs) context=user_u:system_r:unconfined_t

On the second LDAP server, I get:
uid=501(golharam) gid=500(users) groups=500(users) context=user_u:system_r:unconfined_t

There should be a second group as 'cvs' with gid=85. Does anyone know why I wouldn't see secondary groups in my second LDAP server?
