[Bug 155947] Re: ldap config causes Ubuntu to hang at login

[Andreas Hasenack]

We really need to set this bind_policy to soft, or else the machine just
won't boot. It stops at klogd. I just tried with hardy.

So, after setting it to soft using a rescue disk, boot proceeded as
normal. I didn't even touch the timeouts. Now, the ldap user obviously
can't login yet in my scenario because it's a notebook with wireless, so
there is no network setup yet at the gdm prompt. But this is another
issue. The local user login works.

You also have upgrade issues to consider. Now we seem to have reverted
to upstream's default of using just /etc/ldap.conf for both pam_ldap and
nss_ldap. FWIW, I agree with this change. Debian was the only kid in the
block with renamed config files for these two libraries, and they both
share a lot of config options. So, these settings need to be migrated to
/etc/ldap.conf, or at least a warning should be issued. (If this is
already done, then please ignore what I just wrote).
