Hi!
I've got a CentOS4.7-machine as a fileserver. The machine also serves as the LDAP-server against which all regular users are authenticated. The problem I am having is that the machine takes a very long time to boot. Most of the services start up rather quick, but three services take quite a long time (extending the boot time to over half an hour, which is .... long)
The three services are (in that order):
- NFS statd
- LDAP
- NFS quota
As soon as the LDAP-Service (and sshd) has started I can remotly log into the machine: the rpc.quotad has started but takes no CPU-time (so I guess he must be waiting for something)
Some other observations I had:
- a restart of LDAP takes several minutes
- if the LDAP-service is down a "su ldap" (ldap IS in /etc/passwd) seems to hang. The ldap-service-script does such a su to check the configuration so I guess that is what takes the service so long)
Could anyone give me a hint what the problem could be and how to fix it? Is any more information required (don't want to spam you with the nsswitch.conf and the whole pam.d-stuff)?
