The symptom that is reported here is not the problem that I was seeing.

Here is a quick summary of what I saw.

  1. Successfully running libpam_ldap and libnss_ldap on gutsy
  2. Aptitude upgrade merged two config files into /etc/ldap.conf
  3. Reboot of the system runs to login prompt, BUT no scripts in
     /etc/init.d are run after the kernel log.

The solution was to change the host line in the /etc/ldap.conf file to:

  host 127.0.0.1 123.123.123.123

where 123.123.123.123 is a working ldap server in the network.  This works 
okay, but it is really unclear how you bring up the first server with ldap 
and libnss_ldap.  This has been a problem for long enough I am quickly 
coming to the opinion that you should _never_ run the ldap server on a 
system that is using libnss_ldap.  This is a big pain in the neck since two 
sites that I manage are configured to have a local ldap replica to improve 
reliability.  Currently, running a local ldap server is fine if you can 
ever get the system booted.
