Slow Startup with nss_ldap

[Pramod Venugopal]

Hi

Anyways, after setting slapd to start before in rc.d, I was able to  
get my machine up. Slapd would still give me the following error:

nss_ldap: could not search LDAP server - Server is unavailable

However slapd is up and running by the time I get a login prompt so  
the important issue is out of the way. Now to figure out why that  
message comes up.
