Description of problem: System used LDAP database for user authentication. If nscd is not running, postfix claims about a failed bind and mailq won't work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): postfix-2.3.3-2 nss_ldap-253-3 How reproducible: Always in case nscd is not running after postfix restart Steps to Reproduce: 1. configure use of LDAP with authconfig 2. do not start nscd 3. start postfix Actual results: mailq hangs, log tells all the time: Aug 20 07:31:53 host postfix/showq[3120]: nss_ldap: failed to bind to LDAP server ldap://ldapserver/: Can't contact LDAP server Expected results: Working Additional info: Starting nscd and restarting postfix helps. /etc/ldap.conf: uri ldap://ldapserver/ ssl no tls_cacertdir /etc/openldap/cacerts pam_password md5
I am sorry, but nscd is needed to be able to use nss_ldap. This is no postfix problem, closing as NOTABUG.
