[webmin-l] LDAP Users and Groups - Problem adding new users

[Murray T. <mtr...@ce...>]

Hi Jamie,

The module itself works fine when I add a new LDAP user but the script
it runs to configure the new user's Linux account after the user is
created, broke a few days ago.  I am not aware of anything being changed
so I'm not sure what caused this problem.  The shell script does an "su
- $USERADMIN_USER" to become the new user to run gconftool2 and other
things.  For some reason I started getting an error that the new user
I'm su'ing doesn't exist.  It appears to be something to do with the
name service cache daemon nscd.  I have hacked my script to restart nscd
from my script before I su to the new user - that fixes the problem for
now.  As a proper fix, shouldn't the webmin LDAP Users module do a flush
of the NSCD cache whenever it adds or removes users to make sure
everything is immediately in sync?

Thanks

Murray
