Fixed In Version: nss_ldap-253-25.el5_5.3
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Under certain circumstances, the nss_ldap module may have been unable to correctly process LDAP entries with a large number of group members. This was due to an error number being accidentally overwritten before the control was returned to the caller. When this happened, various utilities failed to produce expected results. With this update, this error has been fixed, the error number is no longer overwritten, and affected utilities now work properly.
