[Nix-dev] [PATCH] Improved LDAP and nscd interoperability

[Rickard Nilsson]

Hi,

Here's a patch that improves LDAP and nscd interoperability a bit. It does  
two things:

* If you have a bind password in /etc/ldap.conf, it sets the user nscd as  
owner of that file, since otherwise nscd can't properly look up LDAP  
users. It seems to work fine anyway in most cases, but for some reason the  
/run/current-system/activate causes LDAP users to disappear until you  
restart nscd. My patch fixes that.

* For the nscd-invalidate job, the passwd, group and hosts databases are  
now invalidated, not only hosts.

As always, I would be happy if someone could review and apply this patch.

Best regards,
   Rickard Nilsson
