Back to my original question then....
The errors are valid as we do not have an LDAP server. What I am
trying to figure out is why it is looking for one. I have done some
additional google searching but I have not found any definitive
answers. From what I have seen I suspect that the problem lays with
our /etc/nsswitch.conf file and that I need to change references
to "file ldap" to just "files".
Here are the (essential) contents of the /etc/nsswitch.conf file:
passwd: files ldap
shadow: files ldap
group: files ldap
hosts: files dns
bootparams: files
ethers: files
netmasks: files
networks: files
protocols: files ldap
rpc: files
services: files ldap
netgroup: files ldap
publickey: files
automount: files ldap
aliases: files
