Hello, I have been tracking development and using the pam_ldap and nss_ldap modules from PADL software for about half a year. I was pleased to see them included with RedHat 6.1. However, after I began using the rpm versions, I found I can no longer shutdown my machine, as /usr is always in use or busy. I think I have tracked down the problem to the nss_ldap module. Troubleshooting steps taken: 1) Attempt to shutdown the machine (shutdown -h or -r now) 2) machine goes to init 0 or 6 respectively 3) everything gets killed and umounted, except /usr because its in use or busy 4) This requires a manual reset of the machine which of course runs fsck on /usr everytime 5) Trying to figure out what was in use - init 1 to go to single user 6) unmount all mounted file systems - /usr won't umount because its in use 7) lsof to list open files - the only open files listed on /usr (8,2) are of course lsof and friends AND the LDAP libraries libldap and liblber 8) exit single user mode 9) rpm -e pam_ldap and nss_ldap 10) modify /etc/pam.d/login to not use LDAP 11) logout and log back in 12) shutdown -h or -r works now 13) reboot, reinstall nss_ldap, (but not pam_ldap) and problem exists again the ldap libraries are in use by sh and I did not have this problem when using Red Hat 5.2 or 6.0 with nss_ldap that I compiled myself. That _may_ be because I never compiled shared libraries of libldap and liblber and always included the static libraries.
Should be fixed in nss_ldap-85-2, which will be in the next Raw Hide release.
