Description Dirk Heinrichs 2000-07-26 10:47:15 UTC 
I recently changed my little private network to authenticate users via pam_ldap and nss_ldap (and thus removed ordinary users from /etc/passwd). 
Everything works fine so far, but when I now visit a site with netscape that executes a java applet netscape crashes right after the "starting java" 
message. If I put a line for that user back in /etc/passwd, netscape works fine with java again. If I delete the line it crashes.

Bye...

If you remove the user's entry from /etc/passwd, what does
"getent passwd username" output?
Comment 2 Dirk Heinrichs 2000-07-27 15:53:54 UTC 
getent
Comment 3 Dirk Heinrichs 2000-07-28 06:10:43 UTC 
Seems that previous comment didn't make it to the archive.
"getent passwd username" gives me a full record of the given user, like one that would be entered in /etc/passwd
(incl. encrypted passwd).

Bye...

FWIW, this was reported once before, but we've never been able to
reproduce this here.

What version of netscape?bv
Comment 5 Dirk Heinrichs 2000-07-31 15:33:57 UTC 
Netscape is version 4.72

Does it persist with earlier or later versions?
Comment 7 Brent Fox 2006-04-20 19:05:14 UTC 
Closing due to old age.  Please reopen a new bug against a more recent version
if this bug still exists.
