Chroot+ldap problem
Hi, I have this bizarre problem and I would really appreciate if someone
can point me in the right direction to solve it.
I have a set of two amd64 machines with Debian Lenny. Machine 2 reads
all the users' information from the Machine 1 through LDAP. Also, in
Machine 2 I set up a dchroot environment for 32 bits compatibility (
following http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/426).
In addition to the above instructions, on this Machine 2, I set up
/etc/libnss*, /etc/ldap/*, and /etc/nsswitch.conf both for the amd64 and
for the i386 environments. I have no problems if I'm in the native amd64
mode. However, once I enter the i386 dchroot, some strange things happen:
1) For users from uid=1000 to uid=1031, I get an error if running
'whoami' (Cannot find name for user ID XXXX) and if I run 'id' , I get
all the correct group numbers but no translation to group names in
parenthesis as it should be. 'ls -l' also only lists group numbers but
no names.
2) for user 1032 I cannot even change into the dchroot, I get the error
"E: Group '1,031' not found"
I'll be happy to send the relevant contents of the configuration files
that are requested.
Thank you very much!
Patricio
