[CentOS] nss_ldap loop sleeping after ...

Hi,

I rebooted a old Centos 5 box and now its stuck in an ever increasing timeout loop;

nss_ldap: reconnecting tl LDAP server (sleeping # seconds)....

This happens before network services starts.

Any one know how I can break out of this?

I tried booting in single user mode from the grub menu but no dice, the thing keeps nss_ldap looping.

Thanks in advance,
