[Bug 654249] Re: libnss-ldap create troubles in gnome session when ldap server is unreacheable

[Clint Byrum]

This does indeed look to be Invalid in libnss-ldap. Its worth taking a
look at in glibc though as perhaps there is some work to resolve this in
NSS's design, so opening a bug task against eglibc.

** Changed in: libnss-ldap (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Invalid

** Also affects: eglibc (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

Title:
  libnss-ldap create troubles in gnome session when ldap server is
  unreacheable

Status in GDM: The Gnome Display Manager:
  New
Status in “eglibc” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “libnss-ldap” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: libnss-ldap

  System : Maverick RC

  Steps to reproduce:
  - Install libnss-ldap and set it up correctly
  => Gnome sessions should work normally for a local user
  - Plug the computer in an other network or unplug it 
  => the ldap server should be unreacheable
  - Click on the full name of a local user in GDM
  => The password prompt doesn't appears immediately. This isn't the expected result
  - Enter the password and login
  => Startup sound start about 15 seconds later. 20 seconds after logged in, the gnome-panel and the sound menu appears, but the sound is considered as mute an the sound menu doesn't appears when clicking on it.

  Expected results:
  - "getent passwd" may give a result immediately (the is a delay of 1 second)
  - gdm should prompt for the password immediately
  - the sound menu should work normally

  Workaround: install libnss-ldapd that use nscd with some cache
  mechanisms that provide the expected results above.
