The diff is messy since the file was change around a bit. However the hrender shell script from houdini 8 gives the exact same error message when run with the houdini 9 binaries. So the error must be getting returned from the hbatch or mantra binaries.

We are running houdini Houdini 9.0.782 on linux.
When we run a command from a shell like:
hrender -f 1 1 -i 1 -d mantra1 h9tester.hip
we get:
Unknown command: ndif
This worked OK with version 8. We've tried multiple linux distros and multiple houdini 9 projects.
If we run: grep ndif `which hrender`
We get:

So I don't know where this error is coming from. Any help would be appreciated since our farm can no longer render houdini projects with this method.
Thanks

I don't have any control over the uids on the LDAP server I just point the machines at it. Houdini writes the file with the correct owner and group but the contents of the file is messed up and can't be opened by any user in linux or windows once it has been saved by a large uid user in linux.

I've also tried Houdini 8.0.410 under CentOS and Ubuntu which we haven't deployed yet. It exhibits the same bug.

I've been able to recreate the problem with CentOS 4.0, Ubuntu 5.10 and Gentoo with both local and LDAP users.

We are using Houdini 7.0.633 in Linux. Our users come from a LDAP server and have 7 digit uids. Anytime a file from houdini is saved by a user with a 7 digit uid the file becomes corrupt and is not readable by houdini ever again. I also tested this with a local user with a 7 digit uid in /etc/passwd and houdini exhibits the same problem so it does not appear to be ldap related.
It works fine for local and ldap users with uid lengths <= 6.
Any chance this bug could be fixed? We've got a few thousand ldap users who can't use houdini in Linux.
Thanks
Here's a sample /etc/passwd entry that will cause a crash when logged in as that user.
