Hi,
Has anyone see this behavior in SL 5.2?

On boot, we get multiple udevd: nss_ldap failed to bind to LDAP errors.
udevd tries repeatedly (every 4,8,26,32, & 64 sec.s for about 20 mins.) 
to connect and then claim our ldap server can not be reached, then boots 
fine. It appears that udevd is trying to contact our ldap servers before 
the network is brought up. If I disable ldap, the server boots fine. I 
have set the ldap reconnect policy (/etc/ldap.conf: bind_policy) to soft 
for the time being and it boots fine after udevd times out a few times.

How can I fix udev/ldap timeout problem we have?
Do I have something wrong in my nsswitch.conf?

Thanks,
Robert
