From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.6 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020913 Description of problem: sendmail -bv 10342 responds with "10342... user unknown". ldapsearch -x '(uid=10242)' gives the right entry. su - 10342 also works. Using "sendmail -bv testuser" I got "testuser... deliverable: mailer local, user testuser" Both accounts are only in the same ldap-subtree - not local. It seems that every account containing only digits doesn't work. Under RH 7.3 (sendmail.8.11.6-15) - same configuration - I get the the correct result for 10342 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. sendmail -bv 10342 Actual Results: 10342... user unknown". ldapsearch -x '(uid=10242) Expected Results: 10342... deliverable: mailer local, user 10342 Additional info: Under RH 8.0 with default sendmail.mc
I downloaded sendmail.8.12.5 and sendmail.8.12.6 from sendmail.org and built the binary. Both work with sendmail -bv 4711
The behaviour not resolving local logins containing all-digits seems specific to RH 8.0 sendmail.
Is there any progress towards a solution ?
Seems disabling hesiod is fixing this as a shortterm fix, it should have nothing todo with RHL7.x versus RHL8 sendmail rpms. greetings, Florian La Roche
Thanks for respondig: 1) Hesiod is not enabled ( I assume thats the default ) 2) When installing from sendmail.org ( same tar file as in semdmails SRPM (md5sum)). An all digit-usename is accepted ( sendmail -b 4711 )
Should be fixed in 8.12.7-3 or newer. greetings, Florian La Roche
