ldap server lookup at boot


I am using Debian Unstable based distro. I followed the steps in the following howto to authenticate KDM against samba/ldap domain (ClarkConnect) using nss_ldap:
http://www.debuntu.org/ldap-server-a...dap-clients-p2
Although, I am able to join the domain, I am not able to obtain users data stored in the ldap database.

Code:
root@server:/home/my_server# wbinfo -u
Error looking up domain users
I have noticed at system boot, udev is trying to get nss_ldap to connect to the ldap server even before starting the networking and keeps repeating the following message:

Code:
nss_ldap: failed to bind to LDAP server ldapi:///192.168.100.20/: Can't contact LDAP server
How to delay the ldap server lookup at boot time until the networking is started?

UPDATE:

Sorry, the problem was due to a typo in the libnss_ldap.conf file, so I do not see a need for this post.
