Hi experts,
after patching the boxes to Solaris Update 5, my previous working nss_ldap now makes nscd dump core.
I've built nss_ldap (and pam_ldap) to use libldap.so.5 (comming with Solaris 10) and Network Security Services SSL implementation (also comming with Solaris 10).
I've created many cores and truss outputs for different kind of calls - like 'gepwuid_r' or 'getgrnam_r'.
Analysing the core revealed that problem always happens in function
_nss_ldap_parse_pw
( line 99 ldap-pwd.c)
pw->pw_passwd = buffer;
Hower 'pw' is 'NULL'.
pw is 'retrieved' from the 'args' pointer argument of f.e. _nss_ldap_getpwuid_r
nscd calls it's internal (not the one from libc) nss_search with nss_search(NULL,...).
If nscd is shutdown, nss_search from libc is used and this one doesn't call nss_search(NULL,...).
Unfortunately I can not shut down nscd because I've some legacy application running which have been linked to libldap.so.4 and which do no allow to use LD_PRELOAD.
How could this problem be solved?
Thanks in advance,
Benrhard
