A short-cut to disable ldap name service:

# authconfig --kickstart --disableldap

And to disable ldap authentication:

# authconfig --kickstart --disableldapauth

Now I believe it only does something if /etc/sysconfig/authconfig has these marked =YES, but if they are turned on there they will automatically be turned on again during the next reboot, so check there too.

In other words you _had_ the right answer already!

Thanks muchly for the confirmation. I have made the necessary changes and I am just in the process of kicking people off so that I can reboot. I know the reboot may not be entirely required but it will ensure that all services have been restart and now reflect the configuration changes.

Thanks again for your assistance.
