[Fedora-directory-users] Fedora Core 5 Blocking on Boot

[Richi Plana]

Hi,

I recently set up fedora-ds and managed to configure several FC5
machines to authenticate and get user information from the LDAP server.
Unfortunately, the laptop isn't always connected to the network so when
it boots up, the process hangs when it tries to start the "message bus".
I figure the process blocks when it tries to change UID to that of the
dbus user. When the machine isn't connected to the network (ie. no cable
and wireless isn't available), the process just hangs.

Any suggestions on fixing this?
