Description of problem: When you create an NIS netgroup named +(hostgroup), 389 crashes and then crashes on startup (last log item is a note about database recovery). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.1.4-3.fc16.x86_64 (from updates-testing as of 2011-12-29) How reproducible: Haven't tried on a test setup, consistently crashed, however. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a hostgroup "buildserv" 2. Add a server to it 3. Create a sudo command-group "software-install" that mirrors the standard SOFTWARE cmnd_alias. 4. Create a sudo rule "developers_buildserv" which allows members of the "developers" group to run softare on the host named "+buildserv" 5. Create an NIS netgroup "+buildserv" Actual results: 389 crashes, crashes again when restarting. Expected results: The server refuses to create +buildserv, lets you know you're doing something dumb. Additional info: The corrective action was: 1. Use db2ldif to dump the database to LDIF 2. Manually edit the dump to rename the "buildserv" netgroup 3. Re-import with ldif2db 4. Delete the host group 5. Delete the netgroup 6. Re-add the host group.
