[Freeipa-users] Acrobat Reader errors on Centos 5.8 (getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id)

[freeipa at noboost.org]

Hi,

Acrobat reader & Firefox won't load on Centos 5.8 (odd)

Server:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.2 (Santiago)
- ipa-admintools-2.1.3-9.el6.x86_64
- ipa-client-2.1.3-9.el6.x86_64
- ipa-pki-ca-theme-9.0.3-7.el6.noarch
- ipa-pki-common-theme-9.0.3-7.el6.noarch
- ipa-python-2.1.3-9.el6.x86_64
- ipa-server-2.1.3-9.el6.x86_64
- ipa-server-selinux-2.1.3-9.el6.x86_64

Client:
- ipa-client-2.1.3-1.el5


Since installing the ipa-client and configuring with central auth, one
of our Centos 5.8 clients won't start up firefox or acrobat reader. 


Acrobat Error:

(acroread:12739): GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown
user id (366)


Firefox Error:
Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that
you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS
locks due to a system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/
for information. (Details -  1: IOR file '/tmp/gconfd-somebody/lock/ior'
not opened successfully, no gconfd located: Permission denied 2: IOR
file '/tmp/gconfd-somebody/lock/ior' not opened successfully, no gconfd
located: Permission denied)


Troubeshooting:
1) If I then simply add my user into the /etc/passwd file the program works
perfectly. 

2)firefox
I managed to wip up a workaround for this one by creating a symlink:
$ mkdir /tmp/gconfd-somebody/lock
$ cd /tmp/gconfd-somebody
$ ln -s /tmp/gconfd-craig/lock/ior
