Same thing here on Ubuntu 9.10. Here is a (possibly) relevant nss_ldap thread:
http://old.nabble.com/No-timeout-for-nss_ldap--td14576190.html Unfortunately, that thread ends with "I am looking at fixing this now and providing some time outs on the soft path as well. Will keep you informed." That was back in 2008. In my opinion this is an important bug. One of the major reasons for using LDAP+nss is for high availability in corporate networks... and this bug breaks that completely. -- Local login fails without LDAP server https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/253937 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to libnss-ldap in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
