I can also confirm the problem, but I think there are actually two issues going on.

The first is the fact that systems need to boot when ldap is not available. The soft option does fix this problem (and the local database cache should work for mobile users).

The second problem is the order of when the network starts. In the current debian based distros it is too late. If the ldap server(s) are online there is no reason why we should have to fail on the query. The problem is that the network doesn't seem to be fully online. This is also seen by the fact that I don't always get my NFS mounts to work. They are in /etc/fstab but most of the time I have to log in as root after the system boots and do a: mount -a -t nfs
