Title:
  libnss-ldap create troubles in gnome session when ldap server is
  unreacheable

Status in gdm:
  Expired
Status in eglibc package in Ubuntu:

Status in libnss-ldap package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: libnss-ldap

  System : Maverick RC

  Steps to reproduce:
  - Install libnss-ldap and set it up correctly
  => Gnome sessions should work normally for a local user
  - Plug the computer in an other network or unplug it 
  => the ldap server should be unreacheable
  - Click on the full name of a local user in GDM
  => The password prompt doesn't appears immediately. This isn't the expected result
  - Enter the password and login
  => Startup sound start about 15 seconds later. 20 seconds after logged in, the gnome-panel and the sound menu appears, but the sound is considered as mute an the sound menu doesn't appears when clicking on it.

  Expected results:
  - "getent passwd" may give a result immediately (the is a delay of 1 second)
  - gdm should prompt for the password immediately
  - the sound menu should work normally

  Workaround: install libnss-ldapd that use nscd with some cache
  mechanisms that provide the expected results above.
