[Fedora-directory-users] /etc/init.d startup script issues onreboot

[Joe Sheehan]

I had some time so I've gone back to look at this issue so
I figured I'd post some FYIs regarding this issue

when using the default ns-slapd script during a reboot of the system
ns-slapd will not start.

but changing a line in the script from

daemon ./ns-slapd $OPTIONS

./start-slapd &

during a reboot everything works fine.  (obviously making sure you've cd to 
the correct directory
in these cases, etc)

Well after trying to compare a system that it actually works as expected on 
in terms of kernel, rpms, config with zero luck. A suggestion was made to 
change the start order - so changing the ns-slapd script from 13 to 99 and
going back to the originally "daemon" line on a reboot everything works 
fine. It has been lowered
to the lowest possible start number of 28 (ypbind is 27 , autofs is 28 as 
well) on this system.
Comparing the two systems order only revealed kudzu was running on the 
non-working system - even turning this off didn't allow the start to be 
lowered back to the default of 13.

Strange that just having the "daemon" function in the start line causes some 
type of timing
issue.
