I have the following set in /etc/ldap.conf bind_policy soft nss_initgroups_ignoreusers root,ldap,haldaemon,messagebus,dbus,bin,daemon,postfix,sshd,polkituser,uuidd,100,101
However, these messages are overwhelming. I get them for udevd and vol_id. These might be a startup timing issue as soon as the network is available, they go away. However, the nss_initgroups_ignoreusers should ignore this. Am I still missing something? /etc/nsswitch.conf contains: passwd: ldap compat shadow: ldap compat group: ldap compat hosts: files dns networks: files dns services: files protocols: files rpc: files ethers: files netmasks: files netgroup: files nis publickey: files bootparams: files automount: files nis aliases: files From: Peter E Abresch/EP/PEP To: LINUX-390@vm.marist.edu Date: 08/18/2011 09:00 AM Subject: udevd-349-: nss_ldap: failed to bind to LDAP server ldap:// . . . We finally have RACF LDAP server running on z/OS with the TDBM backend and native authentication. We thought we were done as all our testing completed successfully. However, when the operator booted Linux, the console is flooded with the following messages on the shutdown and startup. It is very difficult to catch a real error with these flood of messages. Also, these messages are somewhat misleading as the LDAP server is up and running and available. I am thinking that these messages are produced as some service is shutdown and before some service starts. Here is the challenge: How can we eliminate these messages during shutdowns and boots? There are all coming from udevd. Thanks in advance.
