Hi Frank,

...

I cannot believe it ... these daemons crash at boot as soon as I have activated LDAP on the system. Has nothing to do with Autoyast setup or manual setup. What have these daemons to do with LDAP? I'm going to file a bug report ...

Just a guess: Do you have apparmor running? With SuSE 10.1/SLES10, sendmail used to crashed after default installation when apparmor was running.

Nope. Neither installed nor started at boot time: adnws005:~ # rpm -qa |grep app libapparmor1-2.3-16.1 device-mapper-1.02.24-27.1 fast-user-switch-applet-2.22.0-42.1 gnome-applets-2.22.1-29.1 fast-user-switch-applet-lang-2.22.0-42.1 deskbar-applet-2.22.1-27.1 libapparmor-devel-2.3-16.1 adnws005:~ # chkconfig --list |grep app I can reproduce crashing/noncrashing dbus-daemon at startup by editing /etc/nsswitch.conf and enabling/disabling ldap for passwd and group: # dbus-daemon starts at boot passwd: files group: files # dbus-daemon segfault at boot passwd: files ldap group: files ldap # dbus-daemon segfault at boot passwd: compat group: compat passwd_compat: ldap group_compat: ldap adnws005:~ # ps -ef |grep dbus 100 1521 1 0 12:18 ? 00:00:00 /bin/dbus-daemon --system root 2939 2900 0 12:19 pts/0 00:00:00 grep dbus UID appears with 100 although messagebus is defined in /etc/passwd and /etc/group.
