If you are running LDAP, the downgrade will almost certainly fix the |
16 |
problem. Read on for some detail and alternative workarounds. |
17 |
|
18 |
There's an open bug and several known complications related |
19 |
to LDAP, with the current setup. I don't run it (thus didn't make the |
20 |
connection until someone else mentioned LDAP or I would have posted), but |
21 |
I've seen discussion of it a couple times on the dev list and the like. |
22 |
The following is relayed from those discussions. Again, I don't run it so |
23 |
may get terminology wrong, but the below is the gist. Search on bugzilla |
24 |
if you need more details. |
25 |
|
26 |
In addition to the downgrade, there's a couple other workarounds that work |
27 |
for some people. Possibly the easiest, if your setup allows it, is to |
28 |
ensure that all users have an entry in your local passwd and group files, |
29 |
and/or tweaking the lookup order to ensure that it's checked first, rather |
30 |
than checking the remote LDAP files first. The slowdown is apparently due |
31 |
to a quirk in init order, whereby LDAP permissions are being checked |
32 |
before LDAP is actually up and running, thereby resulting in everything |
33 |
coming to a halt, until the LDAP query times out and the next one |
34 |
starts... and times out... with several such timeouts occurring during a |
35 |
typical boot sequence. Thus, ensuring that the local files are checked |
36 |
first and have the required information, so the request |
37 |
to not-yet-functional LDAP is avoided, avoids the problem. |
