[Nss-mysql-users] groups problem

[Nick De Decker]

Hello again ;)

Whenever i group support i run into trouble when (re)starting mysql.
With the following in nsswitch.com no problem at all :
    passwd files mysql
    shadow files mysql
    groups files

but when i add mysql to the groups list mysql wont start fully.
when i look at /var/log/messages i see that nss-mysql tries to do a lookup
while mysql isn't yet fully started.
I get the following entries in /var/log/messages :

--------------------------------
Apr 24 14:57:39 etna nss-mysql[6074]: endent called for passwd(0)
Apr 24 14:57:39 etna chown[6074]: endent(0): ent was NULL

ql/mysql.sock

Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/ivweb/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
----------------------------------

Any idea what i can do about this ? Does it try to lookup a group named "1"
?
My mysql-user and mysql-group are both listed in the /etc/passwd and
/etc/shadow files.
