Starting nslcd before slapd can be done but is generally not a good idea because it will slow down the boot process due to problems connecting to the LDAP server. If nslcd knows that the LDAP server is down this could also cause problems for subsequent lookups in a certain time period until nslcd is aware that the LDAP server is available again. This means that sequence 19 may cause problems and 20 currently causes problems for exim. I am in the process of rethinking/rewriting the reconnect logic in nss-ldapd which could make it easier to start earlier. -- -- arthur - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://people.debian.org/~adejong --
