Here is what the tail of an strace of pbs_mom as it >> attempts to fork into the background: Paul Bijnens pointed out that Ian Forde had similar issues with dhcpd minutes before I posted my message. I missed that one as I scanned the archives, then joined the list to ask my question. My problem is also solved by removing ldap from the services line in /etc/nsswitch, in every app that was previously failing with the SIGPIPE errors. I'm still curious to understand why, but more so I'm grateful to have a fix for it. Should have joined the list a long time ago :) Thanks, jbh
