The reason is that the nss module +uses libldap from /usr and is used by the shell in the system +scripts executed on shutdown/reboot. + +More precisely bash uses the getpwuid function to get the data of +the current user which pulls in the nss modules which includes +the ldap libraries if you are using that module. + +Possible solutions to this problem are: + +a) use another shell that does not utilize getpwuid for getting info + about the current user (take dash for example). +b) make sure that the nsswitch.conf is replaced by a version which does + not mention ldap before the system is shut down (and have a startup + script that installs the "full" version of that file). +c) move the libraries to /lib (not recommended). + + -- Torsten Landschoff <torsten@debian.org> Mon, 30 Sep 2002 11:06:22 +0200 |
