Description of problem: Since hal update 0.5.10-1 I get the following messages (about 100 times) on starting udev service fc8 on all my machines. I suspect hal, because udev has not been updated since 21st Jan. udevd[54]: nss_ldap: could not search LDAP server - Server is unavailable and then 6 times: vol_id[762]: nss_ldap: could not search LDAP server - Server is unavailable My machine has nss_ldap, authentication and automount enabled (although i don't think it has to do with automount). This error does not make any sense, as there is no network available when udev ist starting. hal 0.5.10-1.fc8.2 udev-118-1.fc8 How reproducible: Boot into Runlevel 1,2,3,4,5 with nss_ldap and ldapauth enabled. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable ldap-authentication with system-config-authentication 2. (Enable automount through ldap) 3. Reboot and watch messages upon udev start (1st service after initrd-loading) Actual results: many useless error messages. Expected results: just start udev without trying to reach the network for ldap access, which is not possible, as the network is not started yet.
Additional info: Also when the system is up (init 5), nss_ldap (via dbus) is cluttering my /var/log/messages with these messages nonstop (network stopped). It's becoming a very annoying bug.
It has been solved for me on all machines by "system-config-authentication" (disable and enable again NSS lookups via ldap).
Never seen this messages again since F9 (I suppose) => closing this one
