that does not change anything the problem is the same one.

Just for information the client and the server is on the same machine 
(it is thus the server which starts in a mode with the problem)

Yes I think so,but the fact is there

I created a script which copies a file (nsswitch.conf) with ldap words 
which starts at the time when scripts rc3 starts and there that 
functions well, then when I stop the machine, it recopies the version 
without ldap words (passwd ldap etc.)
