Description:

~1 minute delay for the first command 'id' with nslcd using openLDAP server.

This problem has been bothering me for quite a while, but with the help from Mat and Arthur from nslcd's team, I had a solution, which might or might not work for others.

Every time I start 'nslcd' in command line after reboot, the first 'id' command has ~1 minute of delay, but all following 'id' commands work fine.

I tested two ways to fix the delay successfully.

1, in /etc/nslcd.conf, change 'uri' from the LDAP server's host name to its IP address

2, in /etc/nssswitch.conf change line 'hosts: files mymachines myhostname resolve [!UNAVAIL=return] dns' to 'hosts: files mymachines myhostname dns resolve [!UNAVAIL=return]'

Maybe Arch can change /etc/nsswitch.conf in its package? I am not sure if it will work in all cases though.

This task depends upon

Reassign to nss-pam-ldapd package maintainer.

We'll not change default nsswitch.conf.
