I'm using nss_ldap on a whole bunch of machines on the network, and while it works great most of the time, I continuously get errors in my syslog. A sampling from today (these are actually from different machines, but I have anonymized the hostnames to be the same.):

This happens with processes that do fork(). Samba is a great example. Newer versions of nss_ldap have this fixed (I can't precise which version right now).
