Subject: Services Not Resolving?
I have managed to kill service name resolution on
another machine now by installing Sourceforge.
I think I have it but do not have time to verify
right now. One of the LDAP steps asks you to
cp /usr/share/doc/libnss-ldap/examples/nsswitch.ldap /etc/nsswitch.conf
Among the differences between the original and
the examples version:

bob@twin:/etc$ grep ^services nsswitch.conf nsswitch.conf.pre-ldap
nsswitch.conf:services:   ldap [NOTFOUND=return] files
nsswitch.conf.pre-ldap:services:       db files
