Hello,

The ldap test in intermittently failing:

It looks like the ldap_bind call is failing:
ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)

and the "eva" user is hence not created. Ricardo any idea what could be
going wrong?

Here is the log of a successful run to compare:

Thanks,

Mathieu

I just encountered the same failure with a different error:

komputilo login: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/gnu/store/jkfbqqv7dk38xr1a214razjlxip49hip-389-ds-base-1.4.4.17/sbin/.dsctl-real", line 20, in <module>

About 50% of test runs fail, either with this error or the one from the
original report.

After increasing the memory limit for the test VM, I was able to run the
test successfully ten times on two different machines. The patch is
attached.

Great, that wouldn't be the first time that the RAM limitation causes
strange transient issues.

I'm pushing the proposed patch and closing this bug,

Thanks,

Mathieu
