Description Luke Reeves 2011-05-30 15:18:42 UTC 
Description of problem:
We've upgraded a bunch of OpenLDAP based systems to Redhat 6.1. It seems now that nslcd is no longer passing lookups for 2-character long groups to the backend LDAP server, which breaks some things in our environment.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
nss-pam-ldapd-0.7.5-7.el6.x86_64

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a two character group in an LDAP server ("qa" in my environment")
2. Query for the group from any Redhat 6.1 client using "getent group qa"
  
Actual results:
Nothing is returned, and the backend server is not queried

Expected results:
-bash-3.2$ getent group qa
qa:*:5678:username1,username2
