Notes about Debian's libldap2 package
|
||
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It has been reported that using libnss-ldap can cause a failure to
|
||
|
|
unmount /usr on system shutdown. The reason is that the nss module
|
||
|
|
uses libldap from /usr and is used by the shell in the system
|
||
|
|
scripts executed on shutdown/reboot.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
More precisely bash uses the getpwuid function to get the data of
|
||
|
|
the current user which pulls in the nss modules which includes
|
||
|
|
the ldap libraries if you are using that module.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Possible solutions to this problem are:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
a) use another shell that does not utilize getpwuid for getting info
|
||
|
|
about the current user (take dash for example).
|
||
|
|
b) make sure that the nsswitch.conf is replaced by a version which does
|
||
|
|
not mention ldap before the system is shut down (and have a startup
|
||
|
|
script that installs the "full" version of that file).
|
||
|
|
c) move the libraries to /lib (not recommended).
