Hi. I've got a weird one for you.
System: CentOS 5, kernel 2.6.18-53.1.4 64-bit OpenLDAP: openldap-2.3.27 from RPM (openldap-servers-2.3.27-8.el5_1.3)
I'm using OpenLDAP for authentication via pam_ldap and this is going to be the secondary server (if I can ever get replication to work).
However, that's not the issue right now. This machine won't start LDAP unless I remove the "ldap" part from the "group" line of /etc/nsswitch.conf.
Won't start: group: files ldap
Will start: group: files
There are no log messages indicating a problem. slapd simply won't start. Has anyone ever heard of such a screwup and if so, any ideas as to what the fark is going on?
nss_ldap issue, easiest solution for now is to add: bind_policy soft
to /etc/ldap.conf
