The problem is that nslcd only does the required DNS lookups on start-up. This means that if, at start-up time, DNS is not yet fully available (though it should since the init script depends on $named) it can fail. For this to work correctly, it has to either do the lookup every time when connecting to the LDAP server. This has the potential to interfere in subtle ways with the reconnect logic though. In general, this can be done and welcome patches for it. I don't think I have time to implement this myself at the moment. -- -- arthur - [email protected] - http://arthurdejong.org --
