Re: [Nss-mysql-users] _nss_mysql_getspnam_r conf file parsing failed

[Jamie McClelland]

Hi Guillaume - thanks for the response. It has (and still is) working 
great. It's just the log message that is puzzling me.

I'm probably doing something wrong and/or don't fully understand how 
this works - but here's what I've tried:

1. Combed over the nss-mysql-root.conf file and can't find anything that 
could be causing a parse error.
2. We are using the shadow feature - we have one nss mysql user with out 
access to the password column and a nss-shadow user with access (all set 
up according to the directions in the shadow file).
3. Nonetheless - I tried commenting out mysql on the shadow line of 
nsswitch.conf. After doing that I was still able to login and the error 
message continued showing up.

So - maybe I need to reset something for the config change to take 
effect? Maybe I don't have shadow properly configured? Any suggestions 
would be appreciated.

Thanks!
Jamie
