Annoying nss_ldap error message

E

erikf154

This message repeats every minute in the messages logfile. I've can't figure out what it is. The server is setup with ldap and ldap works logging into the server just fine. The setup is exactly like 10 other servers we have and I don't get the message on those servers, very strange.

Have anyone seen anything like it. I've searched the web, but found no solution yet.

Code: 
10:22:00 www004 cron[37507]: nss_ldap: could not search LDAP server - Server is unavailable
 
The crontab file is just like on the other servers (nothing out of the ordinary):
Code: 
# /etc/crontab - root's crontab for FreeBSD

I ran all the commands in the crontab manually and that didn't replicate the error message...

I also ran "crontab -l -u $USER" for all the users in the passwd file to see if any of them have any cron jobs, but they don't. That's what makes this error message so strange!

nss_ldap is there:
Code: 
# pkg_info | grep ldap
nss_ldap-1.265_3    RFC 2307 NSS module
openldap-client-2.4.21 Open source LDAP client implementation
pam_ldap-1.8.5      A pam module for authenticating with LDAP
 
Perhaps the host or uri isn't correctly specified in ldap.conf?
 
Thanks for our reply.

But like I said, the setup is exactly the same as on 10 other servers (we use puppet to deploy the ldap setup). Logging in through ldap works perfectly so the uri has to be right, otherwise we wouldn't be able to login to the server... I have also verify that by checking to log on the ldap server.
