Right, I have just completly reinstall from scratch.

I'm still getting issues with this one.

Compiling with this...

./configure --enable-debug --sysconfdir=/etc/nss-mysql

results in not even 'id <user>' working, that will freeze

If I configure without '--enable-debug', 'id <user>' will

work, but su 'user' won't. 

I really am keen to help get this bug fixed, so will run any

tests, or allow the package maintainer access to my system.



glibc 2.3.2

gcc version 3.2.3

MySQL 4.0.13

Kernel 2.4.20-gentoo-r7 (a patched 2.4.20 - will try

alternate unpatched kernel on request)



Latest Nss-mysql downloaded from here.

no make options used.

tried both with and without nscd running (don't know if it

would make a difference anyway).

I'm using gentoo 1.4,  everything has been built and

optimised for AMP-XP (don't know if that would mattEr).



Open to suggestsion.  If package maintainer wants access to

try things, please email me (address@hidden) with a SSH key.  



Kind Regards,



Ian

I put the following into nsswitch.conf:  

group:       compat   

passwd:      files mysql   

shadow:      compat  

 

as you said, but i can't su, id, getent or something similar. 

 

I tried all possibilities with mysql-passwd enabled, no one 

works (neither su nor id/getent). 

 

I'm using: 

kernel 2.4.22 

nss-mysql 0.43 

mysql 4.0.13-r3 

glibc 2.3.2-r1 

 

What versions do you use? 

 

Addition: I have now downgraded back to nss-mysql 0.40, 

with 0.40 id and getent work again, but su freezes as usual :-(. 

Tried all options of compat/file nss-mysql and 

passwd/shadow/group, su works with none of them. 

But in contrast to 0.43, with 0.40 I get logs of mysql-queries in 

the mysql.log file when running su. 

 

Has anyone who knows how mysql-nss works looked in the 

glibc-ChangeLog? From 2.3.1 to 2.3.2 were many nss-relatet 

updates as I saw, and it really seems to be a glibc-dependent 

problem. 

BTW: Does anyone know if it is possible to safely downgrade 

from 2.3.2 to 2.3.1?
