Description of problem:
I set up a FC3 box to authenticate via LDAPS against a Suse-based
Novell eDirectory.

There seems to be a problem with nss LDAP resolution of groups,
resulting in failure of PAM-enabled services (ie. ssh) where the user
is in the LDAP directory. Local users and groups are fine.

thanks, josh.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
[root@host ~]# getent group (or getent passwd)



Actual Results:  root:x:0:root
bin:x:1:root,bin,daemon
......<to end of local groups>
getent: ../../../libraries/libldap/getdn.c:930: ldap_str2rdn:
Assertion `str' failed.

(If I run 'getent passwd' then it simply hangs once it displays all
local and LDAP users.)

Expected Results:  I should be able to resolve users and groups with
error.

Additional info:

I have an identical configuration working fine on FC2 and RH8.

Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security
updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and
reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and
hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test
release, reopen and change the version to match.

Thank you!

Tested with F7 and F8 - groups seem to work (although I used Fedora servers, I
do not have Novell eDirectory). Feel free to reopen the bug if you are able to
reproduce it in supported Fedora version.
