Package: libnss-ldap
Version: 251-1
Severity: grave

To relevant parts of nsswitch.conf on my system look like this:

passwd:        files ldap
group:         files ldap
shadow:        files ldap

libnss_ldap is configured to query a remote LDAP server.
This makes booting stuck if you use udevd (which most systems will
do nowadays) so I'm filing this bug grave.
These are the messages I get:

INIT: version 2.86 booting
Starting the hotplug events dispatcher: udevd
udevd[374]: nss_ldap: could not connect to any LDAP server as (null) -
Can't contact LDAP server
udevd[374]: nss_ldap: failed to bind to LDAP server ldaps://foo.bar:
Can't contact LDAP server
udevd[374]: nss_ldap: could not connect to any LDAP server as (null) -
Can't contact LDAP server
udevd[374]: nss_ldap: failed to bind to LDAP server ldaps://foo.bar:
Can't contact LDAP server
udevd[374]: nss_ldap: could not connect to any LDAP server as (null) -
Can't contact LDAP server
udevd[374]: nss_ldap: failed to bind to LDAP server ldaps://foo.bar:
Can't contact LDAP server
udevd[374]: nss_ldap: reconnecting to LDAP server (sleeping 4 seconds)
...
And so on. The sleep interval is doubled each time(4,8,16,32,64
seconds...). The boot process get's stuck completely. If I press STRG+C,
udevd is killed and no devices are created, causing to fail the boot
process completely.

I had to boot from a rescue CD to fix this and remove the above lines
from nsswitch.conf again.
