Bug#496165: [nscd] has a problem with case sensitivity - caches wrong result

[Alex Samad <alex@samad.com.au>]

Package: nscd
Version: 2.7-13
Severity: normal

Hi

I have a userid alex, when I attempt to login to the machine (by
accident) with ssh ALEX@localhost, it failes, because there is no userid
ALEX. but when I login with ssh alex@localhost it logins me in, but my
id is now ALEX.  I can't sudo any more and basically can't do anything.
I have to to a nscd -i passwd to restore back to previous values.

I believe it has something todo with the fact I am using ldap and uid is
caseIgnoreMatch, But when I stop nscd and I attempt to login as
ALEX@localhost, I don't run into these problems!

Alex
