Hello,

I hope someone would help me here.
I have a Solaris box running Sun One DS 5.2p4. I installed Solaris 10 08/07 on a v800 box and configured as native ldap client with a netgroup ( restricted login ) as setup/defined in the DS. The DS works just fine with other solaris releases 8,9, 10 (11/06), RHEL but just not with this Solaris 10 08/07 box with the same setup as that on other boxes!!! The client is patched with 22 Jan'08 recomm patch cluster.

The problem is getent passwd or getent passwd <uid> doesn't show the netgroup users. Sometimes it just shows first 4 netgroup users while using getent passwd command. I tried truss on getent and looks like it's weired and intermittent kind of problem. I found following that getent passwd list some of the netgroup users and then I ran trusswith getnet passwd guess what the truss shows dropped first4 netgroup users and listed only the next netgroup users!!!! Damn weired....

Does anyone has face this problem or can suggest a way to troubleshoot the issue?

Thanks in adance.
