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

[Giuseppe Attardi]

Public bug reported:

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
