Fixes an issue where LDAP group membership info is not available long time after system restart. This can happen when nscd cache is expired and name service queries are made while nslcd is not yet started. As a result, nscd group cache contains only local system groups and not LDAP groups. The issue arises more likely in slow systems where slapd/nslcd startup can take minutes. Could also depend on how long the device has been shut down before. Tests performed: - stop nscd service, start nslcd service, check form the logs that nscd reload errors are ignored and nslcd service starts successfully. - Test when nscd group cache is invalidated while nslcd is not running. Run commands: ``` systemctl reload nscd id tester systemctl stop nslcd nscd -i group id tester systemctl start nslcd id tester ``` Result before patch applied. ``` uid=10001(tester) gid=100(users) groups=10002(admin),100(users) uid=10001(tester) gid=100(users) groups=100(users) uid=10001(tester) gid=100(users) groups=100(users) ``` Result after patch applied, tester is in the admins group at the end. ``` uid=10001(tester) gid=100(users) groups=10002(admin),100(users) uid=10001(tester) gid=100(users) groups=100(users) uid=10001(tester) gid=100(users) groups=10002(admin),100(users) ``` Signed-off-by: Veiko Aasa <veiko17@disroot.org> Reviewed-by: Sunil Mohan Adapa <sunil@medhas.org>
FreedomBox Service (Plinth)
The core functionality and web front-end of FreedomBox.
Description
FreedomBox is a community project to develop, design and promote personal servers running free software for private, personal communications. It is a networking appliance designed to allow interfacing with the rest of the Internet under conditions of protected privacy and data security. It hosts applications such as blog, wiki, website, social network, email, web proxy and a Tor relay, on a device that can replace your Wi-Fi router, so that your data stays with you.
This module, called FreedomBox Service and also know as Plinth, is the core functionality and web interface to the functions of the FreedomBox. It is extensible and provides various applications of FreedomBox as modules. Each module or application provides simplified user interface to control the underlying functionality. As FreedomBox can act as a wireless router, it is possible to configure networking. It also allows configuration of basic system parameters such as time zone, hostname and automatic upgrades.
You can find more information about FreedomBox Service (Plinth) on the Plinth Wiki page, the FreedomBox Wiki and the FreedomBox Manual.
Getting Started
To have a running FreedomBox, first install Debian (Buster or higher) on a clean machine. Then run:
$ sudo apt install freedombox
Full instructions are available on FreedomBox Manual's QuickStart page.
For instructions on running the service on a local machine from source code, see INSTALL.md. For instructions on setting up for development purposes, see HACKING.md.
