Description Matthias Pfaller 2018-09-10 06:53:22 UTC 
After upgrading to nss-pam-ldapd-0.9.10 starting nslcd results in:
bind() to /var/run/nslcd.ctl failed: Permission denied

This can be worked around by removing the
 uid nslcd
 gid nslcd
lines in /usr/local/etc/nslcd.conf.
With 0.9.9 this used to work.

Comment 2 Ryan Steinmetz freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-09-10 16:32:12 UTC 
Just to be clear: it is not recommended to remove the uid/gid lines as this will cause nslcd to not drop privs and continue to run as root.
