Description:   Opened: 2008-02-14 13:59 0000 
I have name service switch configured to use both files and LDAP for passwd and
group database. Group lookup fails for users that are only in /etc/passwd, but
not in LDAP:
* User vglauche (only in LDAP)
# id vglauche
uid=606(vglauche) gid=100(users)
groups=100(users),2005(recovery),2010(spm-kurs),2011(stn_op_mrt),2017(als)
* User firebird (only in /etc/passwd)
# id firebird
uid=450(firebird) gid=450(firebird)id: failed to get groups for user
`firebird': No such file or directory



Reproducible: Always

I can confirm this issue on sys-apps/coreutils-6.10-r1. It does not occur on
sys-apps/coreutils-6.9-r1.

This bug has already been noticed upstream:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/12375

Increasing severity - this bug prevents emerging any package that depends on id
to check whether a certain user/group exists.

bug severity is irrelevant ... i'm not going to code any fixes, just wait for
upstream to fix it and i'll merge those changes

*** Bug 210975 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

------- Comment #7 From Doug Goldstein 2008-02-21 17:43:47 0000 ------- 
bug #210975 can reproduce this with:
passwd: files winbind

so it's anything with multi look ups.

But I had a feeling it would be based on the e-mail on the ML.

------- Comment #8 From SpanKY 2008-04-12 19:14:42 0000 ------- 
added fixes from upstream to 6.10-r2

------- Comment #9 From Nahor 2008-04-22 16:52:15 0000 ------- 
For me it happens also for users that are in both passwd and ldap. It also
depends on what parameters are passed to "id" and sometimes, there is no error
but still an incorrect result:

(as root):
> # id
> uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk),
> 10(wheel),11(floppy),20(dialout),26(tape),27(video)
> # id root
> uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm)
> # id <user>
> uid=1001(<user>) gid=100(users)id: failed to get groups for user `<user>': No
> such file or directory
> # su - <user>
> $ id
> uid=1001(<user>) gid=100(users) groups=10(wheel),50(cvs),100(users)


Otherwise, I confirm that sys-apps/coreutils-6.10-r2 fixes the problem.
I don't think 6.10-r1 should have been marked stable with such a bug.
