Bug#407788: x11-common init script cause bootup hang when using nss_ldap for LDAP-based user and groups
Hello Brice,
I can confirm that this still happens with etch. Like written
in the bug report it seems this is a issue with nsswitch and
ldap (and also probably with other network-based nss modules).
But I opened this bug for x11-common, because the question is
why they initscript /etc/init.d/x11-common uses 0:0 instead
of root:root in line 37 and 51.
If this script would use "chown root:root $ICE_DIR", libnss-ldap
would ignore this lookup request if specified in
nss_initgroups_ignoreusers and the script wouldn't hang during
bootup. I have already tested this.
Cheers,
Andreas
