[Bug 38444] nss-ldap causes switch user problems

[Scott Henson]

Public bug reported:

Affects: gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
I have libnss-ldap enabled on my dapper system.

After locking my screen I move my mouse to get to the unlock prompt.
The prompt displays and then freezes for 10 seconds.  It seems as though
gnome-screensaver is attempting to retrieve all the users in the ldap
database(aprox 3k) and this is causing it to go unresponsive.  Is there
any way to turn this off maybe or make it limit the users presented.  I
would rather just enter the user name much like gdm.  Thanks.
