Summary:
I have spacific LDAP setup in our university LAB.
LDAP logins and NFSv3 home directory mounting works OK.

Howerver after starting Mac mini computer there is "Network accounts are unavailable" warning at loginwindow even though I can successfully login with network account.

Is this warning displayed because of some special "keepalive" LDAP feature? 

Our LDAP configuration and printscreen of described situation is in attachment.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. setup LDAPv3 on OS X
2. set loginwindow to show name and password fields
3. restart Mac
4. "Network accounts are unavailable" warning will appear on loginwindow screen for about 10 seconds then it disappears

Expected Results:
NO "Network accounts are unavailable" warning

OR

Ability tu suppress "Network accounts are unavailable" warning on loginwindow

Actual Results:
"Network accounts are unavailable" warning at loginwindow which confuses users.
