Weird behavior

[Rick Stevens <rps2@socal.rr.com>]

Hi.  I've got a weird one for you.

System: CentOS 5, kernel 2.6.18-53.1.4 64-bit
OpenLDAP: openldap-2.3.27 from RPM (openldap-servers-2.3.27-8.el5_1.3)

I'm using OpenLDAP for authentication via pam_ldap and this is going
to be the secondary server (if I can ever get replication to work).

However, that's not the issue right now.  This machine won't start LDAP
unless I remove the "ldap" part from the "group" line of
/etc/nsswitch.conf.

Won't start:
	group:      files ldap

Will start:
	group:      files

There are no log messages indicating a problem.  slapd simply won't
start.  Has anyone ever heard of such a screwup and if so, any ideas
as to what the fark is going on?
