Description of problem: I has a user on a dev box who is managed by LDAP auth. The user's group id did not exist in the local /etc/group file. when doing an rpmbuild as this user, and building an rpm from files owned by this non-existant group rpmbuild would segfault right away. Once the gid is added in /etc/group rpmbuild worked as expected. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm-build-4.3.3-13_nonptl How reproducible: Have not tried to reproduce, but I can give it a try. Steps to Reproduce: 1. create user with a gid that is not used in /etc/group 2. build src rpm package as this user, so that all new files are owned by this bad group 3. call rpmbuild Actual results: rpmbuild segfaults Expected results: creation of an rpm Additional info: The user used to create the rpm did everything localy, i.e. in $HOME, not /usr/src/redhat
Is nscd running? If not, try starting the daemon. Adding the group to /etc/group is the very easy workaround, highly recommended.
Does nscd make this work?
