No attempt to open libnss_mysql.so.2

[Sander van Beek]

My libnss doesnt seem to work, when i trace the id command, it looks like there is no attempt done to read /lib/libnss_mysql.so.2

The only open call i see is:
open("/lib/libnss_compat.so.2", O_RDONLY) = 3

Any clues what could be wrong?

The only thing I'm aware of that could cause that would be a lack of a 'mysq' in your /etc/nsswitch.conf file.. I trust that's in there?  If not, I'll need full system specs - OS and OS version, libnss-mysql version (source or rpm?), MySQL (source or rpm?), etc ...
A full copy of the trace output sent to cinergi@users.sourceforge.net would be useful, too.

Turns out Sander van Beek had two group/passwd entries in /etc/nsswitch.conf :-)
