Hi, I have a small problem. On my central server we run an openldap server that contains the userdata for some systems. An the server uses this ldap server for authentication and nss. The problem is that when the server is booting slapd takes a very long time to start up. I think it's trying to get an answer from ldap for the user ldap. But user ldap is in /etc/passwd and in /etc/groups My nsswitch.conf looks like this. group: files ldap hosts: files dns networks: files passwd: files ldap shells: files The system comes up but takes very long to do so (i think it's somekind of timeout) Mar 12 14:58:23 phobos slapd[584]: nss_ldap: could not search LDAP server - Server is unavailable As I see it, nss asks all sources even if the frist one allready knows the answer. Is there a way to change this.
I've run into this very same problem... but the way I got around it was putting OpenLDAP in a jail all by its lonesome and making sure that jail would start before anything on the host system would start that may need LDAP... (effectively meaning the LDAP server is a different "machine") _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
