solaris 11 ldap client kick start

There's nothing more depressing than when you've got a console going and you see this course by when you do a warm restart of your Solaris 11 box:

svc.startd[44]: libsldap: Status: 2  Mesg: Unable to load configuration '/var/ldap/ldap_client_file' ('').

Say it ain't so. But it is.

Sadly, I've given up and trying to figure out what's wrong, because really, nothing's wrong at all. What'd I've done is throw in a kludge, sort of like what I used to have to do on Solaris 8, 9 and 10, to get my ldap clients running. Here's what I did:

Place a script in /etc/init.d and...

Place a symlink to said script in /etc/rc3/d.

First get those ldap services running:

#!/bin/sh

# set up ldap
svcadm enable network/ldap/client:default
svcadm enable network/nis/domain
svcadm enable dns/client
svcadm refresh name-service/switch
svcadm enable -r nfs/client

exit

Symlink it:

# ln -s /etc/init.d/svc-start-ldapclient.sh /etc/rc3.d/S99svc-start-ldapclient

That was easy.
