Meaning: This message can mean several things:

• Attempted to use the control option features of ldapclientd when no ldapclientd daemon

process was running, to control.

• Attempted to start or control ldapclientdwithout superuser privilege.

• The ldapclientd daemon process is too busy with other requests to respond at this time.

Try again later.

Message: Problem reading configuration file.

Meaning: The/etc/opt/ldapux/ldapclientd.conf file is missing or has a syntax error. If

the problem is with its syntax, the error message will be accompanied by a line showing exactly

where it could not recognize the syntax, or where it found a setting which is out of range.

CAUTION: Whenever the system is rebooted, ldapclientdlaunches if [StartOnBoot] has

the parameter enabled=yes in the file /etc/opt/ldapux/ldapclientd.conf (the

ldapclientdconfiguration file). Downloading profiles takes time, depending on the server's

response time and the number of profiles listed in the LDAP-UX startup file,/etc/opt/ldapux/

ldapux_client.conf.
