Ndsd cores when shutting down ndsd after applying Security Services 2.0.4

  • Document ID:3154121
  • Creation Date:20-Aug-2007
  • Modified Date:26-Apr-2012
    • Micro Focus Products:
      eDirectory

Environment

Novell eDirectory 8.8.1
Novell eDirectory 8.7.3.9
Security Services 2.0.4 ( ss204 )
Identity Manager 3.5

Situation

Problem:
Server hangs while shutting down
Server hangs when shutting down ndsd
ndsd cores when shutting down ndsd
ndsd hangs when shutting down ndsd

Resolution

This issue is a result of NICI removing a softlink from /etc/nici.cfg to /etc/opt/novell/nici.cfg.

To resolve this issue recreate the softlink as follows:

ln -s /etc/opt/novell/nici.cfg /etc/nici.cfg

Once this change is made it is recommended to stop and restart ndsd.  In addition to creating the soft link, in some cases "ldconfig" may need to be run. ldconfig creates the necessary links and cache (for use by the run-time linker,ld.so) to the most recent shared libraries found in the directories specified on the command line.

A typical core as a result of this will look something like this:
