Problem :
Fedora Core 3 x86_64 clients running 32 bit applications have problems
when the box is configured to authenticate using openldap.
These application libraries are trying to perform passwd file lookups
on the user running the application. Because the user isn't there, on
32-bit clients, the lookup fails and the libraries wind up trying to
access a NULL pointer and segfault.
While a workaround is easy, (importing application role accounts into
/etc/passwd) I would like to figure this out for future reference.
All 32 and 64 bit openldap libraries and packages have been installed,
yet I must be missing something. This is my first time using multilib
ldap clients.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks,
