[Nss-mysql-users] conf file parsing failed

[Maikel Punie]

hey list,

i recently reinstalled one off my servers, i did put the backup file 
back for nss-mysql*.conf, but now i can't get it to work anymore

i get all kinds off config file errors:
Jan 22 18:00:28 zion nss-mysql[9405]: passwd.c: handle_query: conf file 
parsing failed
Jan 22 18:00:28 zion nss-mysql[9405]: group.c: handle_query: conf file 
parsing failed
Jan 22 18:00:28 zion nss-mysql[9405]: group.c: handle_query: conf file

parsing failed
Jan 22 18:00:36 zion nss-mysql[9406]: group.c: handle_query: conf file 
parsing failed


Any ideas what could cause the problems?

Thanks for the help

here is my nss-mysql.conf
conf.version = 2;

### DB Access
users.host = inet:db.srv.sin.khk.be:3306;
users.database = sin_user;
users.db_user = sin_nss;
users.db_password = xxxxx;

users.backup_host =;
users.backup_database =;
users.backup_db_user =;
users.backup_db_password =;

### USERS
users.table = pam_users;
users.where_clause =;
users.user_column = pam_users.login;
users.password_column = pam_users.crypt;
users.userid_column = pam_users.id;
users.uid_column = pam_users.uid;
users.gid_column = pam_users.gid;
users.realname_column = pam_users.gcos;
users.homedir_column = pam_users.homedir;
users.shell_column = pam_users.shell;

### GROUPS
groups.group_info_table = pam_groups;
groups.where_clause =;
groups.group_name_column = pam_groups.group_name;
groups.groupid_column = pam_groups.group_id;
groups.gid_column = pam_groups.gid;
groups.password_column = pam_groups.group_password;
groups.members_table = pam_user_group;
groups.member_userid_column = pam_user_group.user_id;
groups.member_groupid_column = pam_user_group.group_id;

and then there is my -root.conf file
conf.version = 2;

shadow.host = inet:db.srv.sin.khk.be:3306;
shadow.database = sin_user;
shadow.db_user = sin_nss-shadow;
shadow.db_password = ruASDFDER;

shadow.backup_host =;
shadow.backup_database =;
shadow.backup_db_user =;
shadow.backup_db_password =;

shadow.table = pam_users;
shadow.where_clause =;
shadow.userid_column = pam_users.id;
shadow.user_column = pam_users.login;
shadow.password_column = pam_users.crypt;
shadow.lastchange_column = pam_users.pam_lastchange;
shadow.min_column = pam_users.pam_min;
shadow.max_column = pam_users.pam_max;
shadow.warn_column = pam_users.pam_warn;
shadow.inact_column = pam_users.pam_inact;
shadow.expire_column = pam_users.pam_expire;
