Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 102947
nss_ldap RPM is out of date and missing support for netgroups
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:06:57 EST
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030703 Description of problem: The current version of nss_ldap is 210 and contains native support for netgroups. The first version of nss_ldap that supported netgroups is 204. Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com> has been provided with patches that will add netgroup support to versions 189 to 202. Please either add the netgroup support patch to version 203 or upgrade to the latest version of nss_ldap, which would be preferable. Without netgroup support many things do not work properly after a migration from NIS to LDAP. For instance sudo, pam_access, hosts.deny, hosts.allow, etc. This is a major impact to sites which have migrated or intend to migrate to LDAP. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nss_ldap-203-4.2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: nss_ldap does not support netgroups in versions prior to 204 without a patch. Additional info: I can supply the netgroup support patch to Nalin again, if neccessary.
nss_ldap-207 is in the tree currently...
And how does one go about getting the 207 version? simpsons [~](SHARK)(2)> cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 2.9.5WS (Taroon) simpsons [~](SHARK)(3)> rpm -qa | grep nss_ldap nss_ldap-202-5
Hello? How can I get the updated RPM? or more importantly the updated SRPM?
Okay, so after spelunking through ftp.redhat.com I finally found the new RPM. To save others from this scavenger hunt: The rpm can be found: ftp://ftp.redhat.com//pub/redhat/linux/beta/taroon/en/ws/i386/RedHat/RPMS/nss_ldap-207-2.i386.rpm The source rpm can be found: ftp://ftp.redhat.com//pub/redhat/linux/beta/taroon/en/ws/i386/SRPMS/nss_ldap-207-2.src.rpm
