Adding the 'set -x' option top of /etc/profile, I was able to

In the file:
/etc/profile.d/krb5-workstation.sh
The follow is causing the issue:
if ! echo ${PATH} | /bin/grep -q /usr/kerberos/sbin ; then
if [ `/usr/bin/id -u` = 0 ] ; then
PATH=/usr/kerberos/sbin:${PATH}

fi
If I add " " around the backticked command, I the bash error goes away.
Not sure who I need to open a ticket against :-)
Depends if you want the bug to be fixed (which, while satisfying, will still
leave you with real problems), or fix your configuration issue which prevents
users from looking up their own user details (such as numerical uid), which is
sure to break some applications.
You should probably investigate why the output 'id -u' is empty, most likely
it is permissions on the certificate.
'ls -l /etc/openldap/cacerts/cacert.pem'
If that's not it, you need to look further.
You can probably track it down with 'strace -e open id -u', or similar.
