Hi,
I've installed and configured LDAP and Kerberos which works fine.
The only problem is that when I start my computer, I get the following error:
udevd[2282]: nss_ldap: failed to bind to LDAP Server ldap://ldap.one.com: Can't contact LDAP Server udevd[2282]: reconnecting to LDAP Server... udevd[2282]: could not connect to any LDAP Server as (null) - Can't contact LDAP Server udevd[2282]: could not search LDAP Server - Server is unavailable

I presume you run linux. The ldap instance is started after the network instance has been started (runlevel 3 on most systems), is therefor not present at system start (runlevel 1).
How do I solve this?
edit /etc/nsswitch.conf to read files first.
And if you already have files first, I would recommend (for now) to add:
bind_policy soft
to the nss_ldap ldap.conf (/etc/libnss-ldap.conf or similar on Debian, /etc/ldap.conf on most other distros including recent Ubuntu AFAIK).
