The LDAP server in use is not running on the local openBSD system. It might not be available due to an underlying network issue or some other problem that temporarily prevents successful connections/queries. > What you ask is a very general question: If A depends on B, and B is > missing, how do expect A to behave? In this specific case, I expect A to complain it was unable to contact B, to continue initializing, return temporary failures for any operation which requires B, and reattempt a connection to B on a regular basis until it is successful. From a reliability and full tolerance perspective, falling over and dying doesn't seem a very good choice for the circumstances.
