Hi everyone,

I am experiencing an issue with my systems in that autofs, or even nscd or crond hangs after our RH 3, 4, and 5 machines are being used for a while. This issue is causing concern that our LDAP install is not stable obviously, and has sent me on a goose chase to find some answers.

Errors I get in the syslog are that automount: nss_ldap: can not contact LDAP server.

Make sure you've got the most recent version of nss_ldap. Some of the older Red Hat versions were buggy and could cause screwiness with LDAP lookups.

I have RH5.3 systems with up to date nss_ldap on it that are also having these problems. I am looking right now to verify that all the other systems are up todate.
