Comment 130 for bug 423252

I fully agree with kibe. While the whole licensing issues certainly lead to a big mess, but this bug is an even bigger issue in any enterprise / medium to large scale environment (at least those not using Kerberos). There has to be a some viable solution. How do other Linux distributions handle this? Do they all just ignore the licensing issues?

In any case the solution is not to leave this bug open for over two years and ignore the numerous suggestions that have been made. Especially now that the nscd workaround is broken in 12.04 LTS.
