Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. setup ldap authentication server (out of the scope of this bug) 2. setup RHL Phoebe2 box to use ldap authentication server (using authconfig-gtk) 3. finger somevaliduser 4. watch ethereal output or accesslog on the ldap server Actual Results: [06/Feb/2003:13:41:27 -0700] conn=1258702 op=1 SRCH base="dc=sun,dc=com" scope=2 filter="(objectClass=posixAccount)" attrs="uid userPassword uidNumber gidNumber cn homeDirectory loginShell gecos description objectClass" --- [06/Feb/2003:12:02:35 -0700] conn=1244165 op=2 SRCH base="dc=sun,dc=com" scope=2 filter="(&(objectClass=posixGroup))" attrs="cn userPassword memberUid uniqueMember gidNumber" [06/Feb/2003:12:02:49 -0700] conn=1244222 op=1 SRCH base="dc=sun,dc=com" scope=2 filter="(&(objectClass=posixGroup))" attrs="cn userPassword memberUid uniqueMember gidNumber" [06/Feb/2003:12:02:51 -0700] conn=1244222 op=2 SRCH base="dc=sun,dc=com" scope=2 filter="(&(objectClass=posixGroup))" attrs="cn userPassword memberUid uniqueMember gidNumber" Expected Results: it should have something like uid=XXX or posixuid=XXX .. in the filter.. why does it get all entries??? are we going back to the ypcat map | grep entry type of searches???
