Bug Description
When I reboot my machine running lucid, slapd often doesn't start at all. Since my non-system users are all stored in the ldap database via nss_ldap etc., this means that I can't log in.
Note: This problem is intermittent; it doesn't happen every time by any means. After upgrade to karmic and lucid, I was affected by various other upgrade bugs such as bug 571057, but I believe I've fixed the config files to solve the issues caused by those upgrades.
I tried looking through /var/log/*, but I can't find any relevant log entries that would indicate why slapd didn't start (or perhaps it does start and crashes/exits quickly for some reason). Any pointers on tracing this would be appreciated.

Thanks for reporting this bug, and helping make Ubuntu better.
Any login issues should be logged to /var/log/auth.log. Can you check that
file the next time you experience this problem?
Problems with slapd should be logged to /var/log/syslog, so you might double
check that as well.
Thanks again.
