I also had boot failures especiall on the server running slapd, when nsswitch.conf uses nss_ldap:
passwd: files ldap group: files ldap This can be a problem when networking isn't started before certain system processes, or the network is down at boot-up. I added: bind_timelimit 2 nss_reconnect_tries 4 nss_initgroups_ignoreusers root,openldap,syslog,klog which is working well for several months. I believe some of these should be added to the default configuration in Hardy. In general system groups in LDAP don'e make sense to me, but the above exclusions are *required* for the system running the LDAP server to boot. Without the above, ldap servers are basically crippled. Unless there is a use-case for these being in LDAP, they should be excluded by default. If there is someone smart enough to have them LDAP in a sane manner (doubtful for groups openldap, klog, syslog), and wants to do so, they can likely figure out how to edit ldap.conf and remove them. -- ldap bind_policy makes it unable to start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/181005 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
