Summary

0002192: getpwuid_r() returns unknown user to application on LDAP client

Description

Trying to invoke Adobe Acrobat reader 7.0.9 results in the application not starting. Other applications terminate early when user is in LDAP, but not in /etc/passwd. Users otherwise can login fine, change LDAP passwords, query LDAP server and perform as users quite normally.

(acroread:32316): GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (230)

Notes
(0005528) tblader (reporter) 2007-07-05 21:34	Sorry, you can probably mark this bug as closed. I've compiled a routine that uses getpwuid_r() to obtain a username and it works correctly. This must be an Adobe problem. -- #include <stdio.h> #include <pwd.h> #include <errno.h> #include <string.h> #include <sys/types.h> #define MAXBUF 1024 int main (void) { int id = 0; char buf [MAXBUF]; struct passwd p; struct passwd *pp; uid_t uid = 1009; if ( (getpwuid_r (uid, &p, buf, sizeof (buf), &pp)) == 0) { printf ("succes: name is %s\n", pp->pw_name); } else { printf ("sorry, no biscuit\n"); } return (0); }
