CentOS - Feb 2006 - When openldap fails to start, can not login as root

Hi,
I have a problem that when my slapd fails to start, I can no longer
login via ssh as a user that is in /etc/passwd

How can I solve this? Editing /etc/nsswitch.conf o pam.d/ ?

Many Thanks
Oliver

The easiest thing to do is to use authconfig to change your authentication 
parameters.  PAM and nsswitch will be updated accordingly.

Which version of CentOS?  CentOS 4 adds "pam_succeed_if.so uid < 100
quiet" in /etc/pam.d/system-auth to hopefully fix this kind of
problem, but CentOS 3 doesn't have anything like that.
