However the errors are still being reported in the messages log file. The errors are valid as we do not have and LDAP server (on my list for a future project). What I am trying to figure out is why it is looking for one. I have done some additional google searching but I have not found any definitive answers. From what I have seen I suspect that the problem lays with our /etc/nsswitch.conf file and that I need to change references to "file ldap" to just "files".
I have to use these in CentOS 5.x
tail -n 4 /etc/ldap.conf timelimit 30 bind_timelimit 30 bind_policy soft nss_initgroups_ignoreusers root,ldap
Thanks for the suggestion but these would appear to control the way that LDAP behaves. Since we do not have an LDAP server I would think that they would be superfluous. What I really need to do is stop things from looking for an LDAP server in the first place.
Thanks again for your suggestion.
