Description of problem: I have a fresh installation of RHEL5. Using authconfig, I've pointed the installation at our LDAP server, which is running SSL/TLS. Everything gets configured correctly, I can id/groups a particular user, login, etc. When I go to install NTP (yum install ntp), the installation hangs. If I install the RPM manually, with debugging enabled, I see that the process hangs at: D: install: %pre(ntp-4.2.0.a.20040617-4.EL4.1.x86_64) execv(/bin/sh) pid 3165 + /usr/sbin/groupadd -g 38 ntp If I execute the groupadd command by hand, it works fine. Inside the RPM installation; however, it's hanging. In /var/log/secure, I see... groupadd[3166]: nss_ldap: reconnecting to LDAP server (sleeping 4 seconds)... rheltest groupadd[3166]: nss_ldap: reconnecting to LDAP server (sleeping 8 seconds)... If I disable TLS and use straight LDAP, everything works as expected. Any ideas? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
I am not able to reproduce this bug on my RHEL5 box. Could you please provide me your ldap and nss configuration? Namely: /etc/ldap.conf, /etc/nsswitch.conf and /etc/openldap/* (without your TLS certificates/keys, of course). I am also a bit confused why your yum tries to install RHEL4 package (ntp-4.2.0.a.20040617-4.EL4.1.x86_64) instead of the RHEL5 one (ntp-4.2.2p1-5.el5). And you filled your HW is i686, but yum installs x86_64 package... Could you please double check your yum configuration or the bug report header?
Closing due to reporter inactivity. Feel free to reopen the bug if you are able to reproduce it and provide the required information.
