I question whether Red Hat (or linux in general) has fixed the problem
that I have experienced from 7.x all the way through 9 so far where if
the "ldap server" is unreachable, not even *local* users or root can
login. The system hangs while looking up group information appearantly?
I have seen little hacks in my bug reports, but have any of those been
implemented into the mainstream yet?
No, they haven't. Edit /etc/pam.d/system-auth and change this line:
account required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so
It should read:
account sufficient /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so
Simple fix, but a longstanding bug. It's bug 55193:
