+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #206399 +++
Description of problem:
The script /etc/init.d/messagebus hangs during bootup if the system is
configured for LDAP authentication. Disabling LDAP authentication solves the
problem.
_____________________________________________________________________
The problems described in the bug above exist in RHEL5 since 5.0.
If the server rebooting is ldap-serving itself, dbus hangs during reboots. In a debugging session, ensuring that ldap starts before messagebus solved the issue.
So it either needs a reordering of the boot sequence of the services (e.g. move ldap to the front of any consuming service), or some nss_ldap magic.
The fix was in the /etc/ldap.conf.rpmnew file. Sorry for the noise.
