Description Jay Fenlason 2006-02-09 19:15:16 UTC

Description of problem: 
During system startup, the ldap init script attempts to run serveral commands 
as the ldap user.  If nsswitch.conf points at the ldap server, startup will be 
delayed until nss_ldap gives up on trying to contact the server that isn't up 
yet. 
 
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 
 
 
How reproducible: 
Always 
 
Steps to Reproduce: 
1.configure /etc/nsswitch.conf to use "files ldap" for groups. 
2.configure /etc/ldap.conf to point to the ldap server on this machine 
3.reboot 
4.observe that the machine takes almost forever to boot. 
   
Actual results: 
Very long boot time 
 
Expected results: 
Normal boot time 
 
Additional info: 
The easiest solution is to add 
nss_initgroups_ignoreusers ldap 
to the default /etc/ldap.conf, possibly with a comment explaining what this 
field does, and why we're using it.

Also adding "root", because it's a common case.  Fixing for 248-2.
