Hi, the thing is, that I've already tried setting those timeouts. And there was no result at all. The lookup time didn't change. Wouldn't it be a lot more intelligent in libnss-ldap to do a *one-time* check if the LDAP server is reachable, and if not there's just no output. Just something simple

Nothing looks amiss in the PAM or NSS configs. From the description, this is not a PAM problem at all, but an nss_ldap one: it's not the authentication which fails, but the resolution of users and groups afterwards. I believe the relevant section of /etc/ldap/ldap.conf is this: # Search
