hi, anybody on the list using nss_ldap, using a localhost ldap server? I have the following problem: I use a passwd: files ldap groups: files ldap (from memory) setup, but the only ldap server is localhost. Everytime this machine is shutdown or rebooted, it will never start up again, hanging on launch on the first daemon that uses it's own user. doesn't matter if it is nscd/sshd/ldap (I tried this three in my troubleshooting).
The only solution is to boot in rescue, remove the ldap from the nsswitch.conf and restart. After restart I can convert back to use ldap in nsswitch.conf. All trial-n-error using [unavail=continue] in nsswitch.conf, or timelimit=3 and bind_timelimit= and so on doesn't seem to have any effect, probably this config line is ignored by nss_ldap. The man page only mentions the underlying ldap libary as difference between platforms. ANY ideas?? matthias ps: for now I'll put up an external ldap server, just for the case of rebooting, but even if it would timeout after minutes it would be fine, since I only need to wait once when I make openldap the first daemon to start after syslog and cron .... _______________________________________________ tsl-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.trustix.org/mailman/listinfo/tsl-discuss
