Topic: LDAP issue: Can't locate Convert/ASN1.pm in @INC

[patrick]

Hi all,

I noticed recently that when I added a user to our smeserver that the LDAP directory was not being updated with their details.

After some looking around I noticed that when I restarted ldap I got the following in my messages log:

Aug  5 10:59:41 staff slapd[12120]: slapd stopped.
Aug  5 10:59:41 staff ldap: slapd shutdown succeeded
Aug  5 10:59:41 staff slapd[14603]: daemon: socket() failed errno=97 (Address family not supported by protocol)
Aug  5 10:59:41 staff slapd[14611]: slapd starting
Aug  5 10:59:41 staff ldap: slapd startup succeeded

So looking a bit further I troubleshooted it down to when the command:

/etc/e-smith/events/ldap-update/S80ldap-update

is called it is returning the following in messages:

I am running 6.01 with minimal contribs.

doing a search of perl modules installed I cant see the ANS1.pm either.

Can anyone with more experience than me help with this?

cheers

More information.

I "upgraded" to 6.0-01 (what it was, just did an upgrade in place to try to flush out any inconsistancies with the default install) which didnt seem to fix the issue.

Googling for it has said stuff about installing relevent modules, which I am a little hessitant to do due to this being a live server with bucketloads of users.

I am in the process of removing all contribs one by one in order of their install to make sure they are not the culprit (though the system has been running forever with these contribs) and will once again update you all to the issue.
