getent passwd on does not return ldap users
807557Jul 31 2010 — edited Aug 2 2010Recently reinstalled a server with Solaris 10. This machine is an LDAP client and ldap server. I have two other solaris machines that are LDAP servers and clients.
Solaris 10 10/09 s10s_u8wos_08a SPARC
On this machine
"getent passwd" only returns local accounts, not ldap ones. (I don't think it would return winbind users either but haven't had a chance to verify that.)
"getent passwd someldapuser" or "id someldapuser" does work- so this does not seem to be a critical problem.
I have several ldap servers and client so this seems to be specific to the latest Solaris 10 release. All my other solaris 10 servers have earlier releases. If I have this machine be an ldap client of another server I still have the same problem.
Is there a fix?
Thanks
