Bug#420604: nscd: coredumps (ldap related?)
Hello,
I see something similar on a number of identical amd64 machines with
nscd and nss-ldap, which have been running etch for a couple of days - on
the affected machines, nscd dies with a SIGABORT within seconds from
starting. What is interesting here is that behaviour seems to spread: at
first no machines were affected, at the beginning of this week one started
misbehaving, today the number is three.
The error message displayed by nscd just before dying after it has been
started in debug mode is:
nscd: cache.c:144: cache_add: Assertion `newp->key + newp->len <=
table->head->first_free' failed.
Without nscd running everything seems to be fine, however I had to
(understandably) relax read permissions on /etc/libnss-ldap.conf from the
default 600 for the sake of non-root users.
Regards,
