Description Alessandro Calorì 2009-06-11 09:52:20 UTC 
On my system I enabled OpenLDAP authentication with nss_ldap and pam_ldap. The database works correctly and also the authentication but the boot procedure is very slow hanging during dbus, hal and avahi-daemon startup.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install and configure net-nds/openldap
2. Install and configure sys-auth/pam_ldap and sys-auth/nss_ldap
3. Reboot the system

Actual Results:  
The boot procedure hangs on dbus, hal and avahi-daemon startup. In /var/log/messages I found many errors about nss_ldap being unable to bind to the LDAP server ("nss_ldap: failed to bind to LDAP server ..."). This is quite obvious since the OpenLDAP daemon (slapd) hasn't been started yet.


Expected Results:  
The boot procedure should be faster and there should not be any error in /var/log/messages.

The OpenLDAP daemon (slapd) should be loaded *before* dbus, hald and avahi-daemon.

There are two workarounds:

1) start slapd in "boot" run-level;
2) add "before dbus hald avahi-daemon" in depend() section in /etc/init.d/slapd.
