Description Pedro Algarvio 2006-05-22 21:25:11 UTC

I store my users in an ldap database, and I'm
using pam_ldap and nss_ldap, when an ebuild tries to create a user that already
exists in ldap, the ebuild fails.

>>> emerge (1 of 1) net-www/apache-2.0.55-r1 to /
>>> extracting info
 *
 * LFS support has been removed due to incompatibilites with other packages.
 * You _will_ have to re-emerge any Apache modules you have installed, or
 * they will likely misbehave/segfault.
 *
 *
 * Multiple MPM support has been disabled due to problems with external
 * modules.  If you have relied on this functionality you will need
 * to find another solution.  The Gentoo Apache team apologizes for
 * any inconvienence this may cause you.

enew(user|group) should first check if user exists besides the /etc/group and
/etc/passwd if this is the place where it checks.

As an example in my system:
# cat /etc/passwd | grep apache
(ouputs nothing)
# cat /etc/group | grep apache
(ouputs nothing)
# getent passwd | grep apache
apache:x:81:81:added by portage for apache:/var/www:/usr/sbin/nologin
# getent group | grep apache
apache:x:81:
