Dear friends

I am facing a unique problem in openldap 2.3.43 on rhel 5. 2. If i specify ldap in /etc/nsswitch.conf like

passwd files ldap shadow files ldap group files ldap

And then start my ldap server, it takes lots of time to start ldap server.

If i remove ldap from /etc/nsswitch.conf , it start immediately.

Can anyone suggest be any solution for this problem.

Easiest workaround is:

echo "bind_policy soft" >> /etc/ldap.conf

(Note, this is an nss_ldap issue, and delays during startup of a machine can be seen in the case where OpenLDAP is not running locally)
