LDAP vanishings
Jul. 20th, 2005 02:06 pmI mentioned an LDAP problem yesterday that was driving me nuts. (arr...) I hacked at it and hacked at it and stared at network hardware and stared at logs, and hours later I finally had it nailed down - the error I finally found was to the effect of 'Rejecting connection on bad hostname', and it was only coming up on systems on the old switch, when those systems didn't have their IP address in my servers hostnames.
Triumphant, I waited for our network architect to return from lunch, so I could get him to look at this boggling problem with what will shortly be a critical system.
At about 1pm, I checked to make sure one of the servers I was working with couldn't connect... and it connected right on through. No explanations, no known configuration changes. The tech hasn't returned from lunch yet.
I'm contemplating impaling our network architect on a stake if he shrugs disingenuously at me and looks innocent. Think I'd be acquitted?
