Subject: [Bug libc/430] nsswitch.conf doesn't support TRYAGAIN=forever, giving bogus results when NIS is not responding
Date: Wed, 19 Apr 2006 08:45:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060419084500.15335.qmail@sourceware.org> (raw)

------- Additional Comments From matthias dot andree at gmx dot de  2006-04-19 08:44 -------
Oh, and to make matters worse, temporary errors (NIS domain not bound) lead to 
getpwnam() returning NULL with errno left at (or set to) 0, so there isn't even 
the documented EIO hint and the error condition "NIS compat mode lookup failed 
temporarily" is completely indistinguishable from "NIS compat lookup succeeded 
and ended up with a definitive no such user".

(Observed with glibc-2.3.5 on SUSE Linux 10.0 i586 - bumping glibc version and 
priority.)
