previous glibc bug was bug 133982 Hi Have anybody find a solution for this ? I am running the FC3 final and still experience the same problem. Hi, Could you post your /etc/nsswitch.conf file? Also what does the command getent passwd return? Does this only happen the first time you boot after a fresh install or does this happen every time? I found the solution for this. The default of /etc/sysconfig/authconfig is USENIS=no Change it to "yes" and reboot. Seems to be gone for me. There were some problems with the FC3 NIS server as well. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031114 Description of problem: after firstboot with ypbind running, attempts to login as a NIS/YP based user results in an unrecognized user. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gdm-2.6.0.5-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. fresh install of rawhide from 2004-10-01 2. after firstboot configuration 3. attempt to login as an NIS based username Actual Results: GDM responds as if the user doesn't exist with the usual messages in the dialog box. (e.g. the warning that the username and password may be wrong) Expected Results: normal login Additional info: ssh connections to the test machine have no problems with NIS based users. Su has no problems with the NIS based usernames. /var/log/messages shows: Oct 1 16:02:54 tembo gdm(pam_unix)[3232]: could not identify user (from getpwnam(ggw)) Oct 1 16:02:54 tembo gdm-binary[3232]: Couldn't set acct. mgmt for ggw Could this be another glibc bug?
