Using wireshark on opensuse 11.2 I discovered that the ldap server was flooded with ldapsearch requests. Turns out that when you use the Yast LDAP Client module to enable your ldap clients, it also turns on ip service lookup via ldap. If you don't store service names/ports in ldap and don't want your server to get really busy with useless request, edit /etc/nsswitch.conf and change
services: files ldap
to
services: files
and restart the name service cache daemon (rcnscd restart)
2 days into installing OpenLDAP, still no go. I installed it on Ubuntu 9.1 and it didnt prompt me for a password. Any ideas on what i could do????
