Description of problem: The perl-function getpwnam suddenly does not return any info about LDAP-users. This also disables the correct functioning of SpamAssassin. Normal users (/etc/passwd) are still available. However, the normal "getent passwd" command shows all entries, including those stored in LDAP. If nscd is activated, the user-id is returned by perl-getpwnam, the group-id not !!! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Perl-5.8.6-4 , OpenLDAP-2.2.23-4
Please excuse me ! This error was not related to perl, but to nss_ldap ... !!! A simple recompile of nss_ldap-234 (why ??) on a FC4-system was sufficient to solve this problem ! Thanks.
nss_ldap was rebuilt on March 16th for rawhide.
