pg_autovacuum (7.4) nss_ldap oddity

From
Oliver Elphick
Date:
I get this in the logs for every database open by pg_autovacuum:

Sep  1 14:02:45 cerberus pg_autovacuum: nss_ldap: could not connect to
any LDAP server as (null) - Can't contact LDAP server

This is produced by the bind_to() call in libnss-ldap.  This is invoked
when /etc/nss_switch.conf specifies ldap; what I don't understand yet is
what pg_autovacuum is doing differently from every other application so
as to cause this message.

Good question, I don't know either.  All pg_autovacuum does is call the
libpq function to connect to the database.  Can you look into this
further?  Do you get similar messages when you use psql to connect to a
database?

Well, something has happened on that machine while I've been away.  Now
it isn't happening at all.  If it starts again, I'll try to debug some
more.
