Unfortunately I do not think this is true, because the user/group is already listed in the local /etc/passwd and /etc/group and ldap is always the last choice in our nsswitch configuration. > > Are there analogous settings for these as well?

Perhaps I'm just being dense here, but the connections are opened when the service in started, before any authentication requests should be made. Plus as I said, the connection being made is to the ldap server serving login accounts. On top of that, I would think that the authdaemon process would have these sockets open if they were for authentication purposes. I apologize for my pestering. I'm just trying to understand where these connections are coming from and (hopefully) get rid of them as a dependency.
