=== stelis [n=se@82-71-4-26.dsl.in-addr.zen.co.uk]  has left #ubuntu-directory [] 
[01:52] <Burgwork> ajmitch: you around?
[01:53] <ajmitch> sort of
[01:58] <Burgwork> ajmitch: ok, got a nasty one. nss isn't returning my usernames
[01:58] <Burgwork> I am what appears to be identical machines
[01:59] <Burgwork> I have, rather
[01:59] <Burgwork> getent returns nothing on the new machine
[02:01] <Burgwork> ajmitch: ^
[02:07] <ajmitch> configured libnss-ldap.conf & (maybe) libpam-ldap.conf properly?
[02:07] <Burgwork> yep, as per debconf
[02:08] <ajmitch> and nsswitch.conf?
[02:08] <Burgwork> yep, identical to another machine
[02:09] <ajmitch> interesting
=== ajmitch is usually clueless when it comes to debugging by proxy
[02:10] <Burgwork> does getent log anywhere?
[02:10] <Burgwork> or does it have an option for more verbose output?
[02:10] <ajmitch> not afaik
[02:12] <Burgwork> bugger
[02:12] <Burgwork> this is frustrating
[02:13] <ajmitch> yeah
[02:13] <ajmitch> I know how frustrating it can be\
[02:13] <Burgwork> I need your bloody tool, dammit
[02:13] <ajmitch> you're an optimist if you think it's a silver bullet
[02:13] <Burgwork> it will solve some of the bigger issues, like misconfigured files
[02:14] <ajmitch> true, but it's lacking some validation that I need to put in there
[02:14] <ajmitch> so that it doesn't write out bad config files if you type in broken stuff
[02:14] <Burgwork> right
=== ajmitch has been too busy having nightmares at work
[02:14] <ajmitch> server going down several times, etc
[02:14] <Burgwork> I downloaded wildfire, which is a rather cool jabber server
[02:15] <Burgwork> it does some cool testing before applying stuff
[02:16] <Burgwork> does nss need to be restarting?
[02:16] <Burgwork> restarted, rather
[02:17] <ajmitch> no, it's part of glibc
[02:17] <ajmitch> so it gets incorporated into every process
[02:17] <ajmitch> hence why having a buggy libnss-ldap is bad
[02:18] <Burgwork> ah
[02:18] <ajmitch> & why it's so hard to replace the api
[02:19] <Burgwork> ouch
[02:20] <ajmitch> hm, I can't recall if libnss-ldap uses /etc/ldap/ldap.conf or not
[02:20] <ajmitch> since most of the settings should be in libnss-ldap.conf
=== ajmitch has to get back to work now anyway
[02:21] <Burgwork> right
[02:21] <ajmitch> I walked home for lunch today :)
[02:21] <Burgwork> let me look at that
