Description

When customer environment uses ldap the default uid check for the 
Open iT server fails. This update adds a configuration option that 
allows multiple alternatives by adding 

  UID_CHECK

option to openit.cfg. Parameters can be

 * skip (drop uid verification completley)
 * scan (verify /etc/passwd and NIS compliance)
 * full (use system call)

The current default is scan. The full option may cause the server to
read /etc/shadow and thus trigger a security alert in a very strict environment.

Installation

Unpack tar file in e.g /tmp/patch on the Open iT host. Do the following as root:

	cd /tmp/patch
	./patch.pl
