Like this?
[BUG#14]
- infinite recursion is host lookup -- libldap uses gethostbyname(). Perhaps
we should link with a custom gethostbyname() which uses DNS only??? (This
is nominally the LDAP client library's problem but we could short-circuit
by resolving the IP addresses ourselves).
(From "BUGS" in the nss_ldap package.)
Alternatively, in your system's /etc/nsswitch.conf file (at least, on the
machine running slapd), have "ldap" appear last (if at all) so that other
services (files, dns, etc.) will succeed earlier with lookups.
Cheers..
