[Bug 1373760] Re: 14.04 hangs with passwd_compat: ldap

[Robie Basak]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

I don't think this is described in enough detail for a developer to
begin to look at the problem. I can't tell whether this is a local
misconfiguration or not, either.

Please could you post steps for a developer to reproduce the problem?

You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively"
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful
if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem,
explain why you believe this is a bug in Ubuntu rather than a problem
specific to your system, and then change the bug status back to New.

Title:
  14.04 hangs with passwd_compat: ldap

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

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
