[Bug 423252] Re: NSS using LDAP on Karmic breaks 'su' and 'sudo'

[Rune Philosof]

There is always the chance of something crashing, no matter how you fix this problem!
Of course having a sudoable (or root) account in the local passwd database would remove a lot of the uncertainty that comes from relying on network for resolving users.

Several has commented that nscd is unstable. However, I see no launchpad bug documenting this.
I have had no problems with nscd and it seems muzzol hasn't either.
Also, I have had no problems with libnss-ldapd.

So both are possible workarounds.
The suggested release note from mathias gug doesn't really provide an acceptable workaround as it essentially disables the use of ldap for resolving users.
