Hi!

I´m have some problems deploying OPENLDAP+SAMBA+PAM+NSSWITCH. When I restart the server with those services, the DBUS service crash. And when I try disable DBUS service on system start Avahi crashs too.

Someone here have this problem? There´s a BUG on CentOS 5? Maybe PAM not talking with LDAP on startup?

If the LDAP server isn't available at boot time, some init scripts (dbus, etc.) will hang. I ran into this when putting a CentOS 5 machine on our DMZ without first allowing packets from that machine to reach the LDAP server. I couldn't figure out what was amiss until I scanned the firewall logs. Oops. :-/
