ldap user disabled
Hi All,

If ldap user is disabled on linux. Do you think ldap processes will still run while ldap user had been disabled?

Thanks for any comment you may add.

I cannot think of any reason why ldap processes would not work simply because the associated unix user account has been "disabled" -- whatever you mean by that.

You cannot really login to quite a lot of system daemon accounts. Given sufficient privileges when started, a daemon can just become a different user via setuid() instead of actually logging in as it, ignoring passwords and bashrc and anything else.
