Where does id / getent query ?
I'm typing "id <user's id>" and its returning a different UID that what is defined in our administration system. Where does id / getent query and where is it configured to query? I'm guessing it queries the local /etc/passwd file first, and then if it doesn't find anything it would query LDAP correct?

Have a look at
/etc/nsswitch.conf

Yep, did look in there but didn't see anything that matched "getent" or "id"...I'm assuming I'll eventually have to look at the source code for getent and see where it calls nsswitch.conf.
Edit: I think I have it. Thanks! Last edited by MaindotC; 11-13-2012 at 06:00 PM.. |
