I don't know the answer to your question, but I can suggest a method for you
to find out (and then educate the rest of us):
find / -type f -mmin -5

Subject: Activating a new guest as an LDAP client, SLES8
I have discovered that when I build a new guest, SLES8, I have a great
deal of difficulty making it an LDAP client via the command line. Even
after I modify the ldap.conf, nsswitch.conf, etc. . . files I find that I
am still not communicating to the ldap server. It seems in fact that the
only way that I have successfully made a guest communicate to the ldap
server is by going through yast ==> Network / Advanced ===> LDAP Client
and activating the feature there. Rather interesting is yast is picking
up my ldap.conf file as all the "blanks" are filled in. Once I select
Finish my ldap client begins working.
I am of the belief that there is a file that SuSE / Yast is modifying that
is completing the activation. This is a file that I believe is not known
to other systems. Could someone please tell me what is going on here as I
do not like to promote the use of Yast or any GUI for that matter?
Thank you!
