[Bug 1024475] Re: libnss-ldap causes boot hang on Ubuntu 12.04 Precise

[Giuseppe Attardi]

I had a similar problem after an 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.

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

After this change, everything worked normally.
