Description David Walser 2015-09-12 00:15:59 CEST 
Similar to dhcp in Bug 16642, nslcd.service (from nss-pam-ldapd) uses After=network.target, but for some services in Mageia 5, this no longer works correctly, and you have to set it to After=network-online.target, otherwise the service tries to start before the network is up and fails.

For users upgrading from Mageia 4 to Mageia 5, this is a non-obvious and unpleasant surprise, so let's fix this now.

Advisory:
-----------------------------------------

The nslcd service in nss-pam-ldapd was not correctly waiting for the network
to be up before attempting to start, causing it to fail to start at boot time.

-----------------------------------------

Updated packages in core/updates_testing:
-----------------------------------------
nss-pam-ldapd-0.8.14-3.1.mga5

from nss-pam-ldapd-0.8.14-3.1.mga5

I can verify that the updated service file fixes the issue on Mageia 5 i586.

Testing complete mga5 64

Verified with rpmdiff on madb the only changes in the srpm are bumping sebrel and..

-After=syslog.target network.target
+After=syslog.target network-online.target named.service slapd.service

Ensured the package updates cleanly.
