Slow Startup with nss_ldap

[Pramod Venugopal]

Hello everyone,

I have a FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE system configured as a Samba Server with  
an OpenLDAP backend. I have configured nss_ldap to allow local user  
authentication via LDAP.

However if I reboot this machine for any reason, the bootup process  
gets stuck on named. If I Ctrl-C out of named, it gets stuck again on  
slapd.

However, if i put the original nsswitch.conf back, the machine boots  
up fine and i have to copy the old nsswitch.conf back to get local  
user authentication.

Here is the updated nsswitch.conf file:
--8<--
passwd: files ldap
group: files ldap
--8<--

 From looking at the logs, it looks like these processes are trying  
to access the ldap server which isnt up since it has not started yet.  
Is there any way I can get past this (other than using the original  
nsswitch.conf and changing back manually)?

Thanks in advance,

Pramod Venugopal
