LDAP kills network.

If I use the "system-config-authentication" tool to enable LDAP, my network becomes unreachable. I can't use telnet, ping, nor LDAP itself. I cannot connect to anything on the LAN.

Except the client host itself. Ping localhost, 127.0.0.1 and its own ip on the lan (192.168.0.20) work.

"system-config-authentication" changes 6 files:
nssswitch.conf, 4 files in pam.d, and sysconfig/authconfig.
