Any machine which may lose access to its LDAP server should have something=
=20
like this in /etc/ldap.conf:

timelimit 5
bind_timelimit 5

(to allow local users to log in if the LDAP server is not available)

Whether this should affect udev so badly is another question (IMHO the mach=
ine=20
should at least be able to boot without these set ...)
