I have a CentOS 5.2 machine that is refusing to get past starting the

mail server. A little Googling shows that it's somehow related to being
unable to talk to the LDAP server. How do I figure out what's causing the
problem? Yesterday before rebooting the server, I downloaded and installed
a newer version of NMAP on it, and suddenly yesterday, shortly after I
rebooted it, it won't finish booting. As I said, I looked for an answer on
Google and found that it's tied into LDAP, but I'm not sure 1) what is
causing the problem and 2) how to solve it.
Can someone here please provide some help? I'm not exactly a linux newbie,
but I am new to tieing linux into Active Directory.

There is a CentOS mail list...
try adding to the bottom of /etc/ldap.conf
timelimit 30
bind_timelimit 30
bind_policy soft
nss_initgroups_ignoreusers root,ldap,named,avahi,haldaemon,dbus
which would speed up starting of some services but I'm not sure that is
your problem because eventually, each of those services gives up and
starts (or doesn't) and moves on.
