RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

    nss: Turn __nss_database_lookup into a compatibility symbol
    
    The function uses the internal service_user type, so it is not
    really usable from the outside of glibc.  Rename the function
    to __nss_database_lookup2 for internal use, and change
    __nss_database_lookup to always indicate failure to the caller.
    
    __nss_next already was a compatibility symbol.  The new
    implementation always fails and no longer calls __nss_next2.
    
    unscd, the alternative nscd implementation, does not use
    __nss_database_lookup, so it is not affected by this change.

Comment 2 Sergey Kolosov 2019-07-24 17:09:37 UTC
Verified,
glibc-2.28-64.el8 has __nss_database_lookup2 symbol and it has __nss_database_lookup as compat one.
