Feature changed by: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) Feature #309148, revision 3 Title: boot-process: starting network / dbus with ldap authentification openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Alexander Fleischer (afleischer) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I asked to file this bug report as feature request: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=569953 (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=569953) After configuring LDAP authentification via yast the system needs about 20 minutes to start the dbus-daemon on boot. I got a lot of ldap messages in /var/log/messages like these: Jan 12 12:01:44 w2 dbus-daemon: nss_ldap: failed to bind to LDAP server ldaps://10.0.0.10: Can't contact LDAP server Jan 12 12:01:44 w2 dbus-daemon: nss_ldap: reconnecting to LDAP server (sleeping 8 seconds)... Of course, because network is started after dbus, dbus can't connect to the ldap server, and waits several times until the timeout is reached. Network has dbus as "required-start", so i can't change the startup order and add $network to required-start in the dbus script. My temporary solution is to replace the /etc/nsswitch.conf file with a one without ldap access in /etc/init.d/boot.local and restoring the original one after the network is up. But this is not a clean solution, maybe an extra startup script can solve the problem. + Discussion: + #1: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) (2013-07-17 22:29:06) + Is this still a problem? Sorry that nobody reacted but this is in state + UNCONFIRMED which normally gets ignored. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309148
