Title:
  14.04 hangs with passwd_compat: ldap

Status in “libnss-ldap” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I did a release upgrade from 12.04.3 to 14.04.1.

  After the upgrade, only local users could log in and any command was very slooow.
  In particular commands like add-user or add-group would never finish.
  Hence some installation commands would hang.

  Removing mentions of ldap in nsswitch.conf seemed to solve the
  problem.

  In the end I discovered that the apparent cause was removing this line
  from nsswitch:

  passwd_compat: ldap

  and using instead

  passwd: compat ldap
