Summary 0002964: problems when using ldap via nsswitch after upgrading to centos 5.1
Description I just upgraded a couple of my CentOS 5 boxes(yum update), and discovered that after the upgrade the machines are "broken". When logging in, I now see shell errors parsing several of the files in /etc/profile.d:

zsh users see:
/etc/profile.d/krb5-workstation.sh:5: parse error: condition expected: =
/etc/profile.d/vim.sh:[:3: unrecognized condition: `100'
compaudit:107: unknown group

and bash users see:
-bash: [: =: unary operator expected
-bash: [: -le: unary operator expected


users with zsh as their login shell are unable to run any executables. shell builtins(echo etc.) seem to work fine, but if I run an external program I just get my prompt back without any effect. bash users seem to still be able to run commands, but su seems to not be working. If I log in as root, and attempt to su to any ldap user I simply get my root prompt back after the pam stack has executed(I know pam modules were called because pam_mkhomedir is in my session stack, and su'ing to a user without a home results in a message indicating that his home dir has been created.)

All the non system accounts on these machines are only found in ldap. getent passwd, and getent group both return what I would expect to see(local file contents + ldap users/groups), and as I said I can log in as a user in ldap, but with the problems described above.

If I add the ldap data to the local files(such that all users, and groups reside in /etc/{passwd,group}) the problems go away.

 oops, I mis-typed the summary. that should read centos 5.2 not 5.1

 I tried nss_ldap-253-12.el5.centos.i386.rpm from dev.centos.org, and this appears to resolve the problem.

thanks for the great work maintaining and supporting centos,
-Matt
