[Bug 423252] Re: NSS using LDAP+SSL breaks setuid applications like su and sudo

[Ian Gordon]

This bug also affects new installations.

Installing nscd does not fully fix the problem as it leaves su unable to
su from an ldap user to another ldap user and a local user unable to su
to an ldap user. Error is "setgid: Operation not permitted"

libpam-ldapd/libnss-ldapd does not support all the features that libpam-
ldap/libnss-ldap does. Primarily all the pam_* configuration options are
not supported leaving you unable to support limiting authentication to
subsets of user on subsets of computers.
