Perhaps if you are not using the Sun client it's not the case, but I had 
read that it's "not possible" to run the LDAP client and server on the 
same host.  But then I discovered and implemented the workaround at
http://swforum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?forumID=13&threadID=49945 
<http://onesearch.sun.com/search/clickthru?qt=openldap+client+server+same+machine&url=http%3A%2F%2Fswforum.sun.com%2Fjive%2Fthread.jspa%3FforumID%3D13%26threadID%3D49945&pathInfo=%2Fonesearch%2Findex.jsp&hitNum=1&col=developer-forums>
However, the seg fault problem I'm seeing isn't addressed there.

I said:

And therein lies another workaround.  As a band-aid I've bracketed an 
/etc/init.d/ldap.client stop
...
/etc/init.d/ldap.client start
around the start_it function in the OpenLDAP startup script.  

Works for now...perhaps I'll try the PADL nss and pam modules (instead on the native Solaris).  I'll update the list when I have something.

Yep, that's a great resource, I've used it extensively.  I've also been to bolthole.com.  These sites and others have been a big help in getting me this far.


Thanks!
