NCP2NSS daemon is not running when doing "ps -aux | grep ncp2nss"
Changes
Applied a new NCP Patch from the official OES Channel on update.novell.com
Resolution
The cause is that during the patch update the ncp2nss
process is stopped but it is never restarted after the patch has
been installed completely. The NCP2NSS process controls the
flow of trustees between NSS and NCP client , if this proccess is
not running it will apear that users have no rights or that all
trustees are missing .
Workaround:
1) Reboot the server this will cause the NCP2NSS process to be reloaded
or
2) run /etc/init.d/ncp2nss/ restart
