Bug Description

Binary package hint: libnss-ldap

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=310563

This bug occurs on Hardy.

'getent ethers hostname' properly looks up a machine, but when the client issues 'getent ethers 00:00:00:00:00:00' the LDAP server reveals that the filter is "(&(objectClass=ieee802Device)(macAddress=0:0:0:0:40:54))". This occurs for all MAC addresses so the server never matches on any getent key. The bug occurs on both i386 and amd64.

A manual search using ldapsearch yielded the correct results, e.g.

  ldapsearch ... -b cn=ethers,dc=foo "(macAddress=11:22:33:44:55:66)"

returned the correct entry from the server.
