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.

Description:
libnss-ldap - NSS module for using LDAP as a naming service
Closes: 375077 375215
Changes:
libnss-ldap (251-4) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Added system which implicitly sets bind_policy to 'soft'
during system boot/shutdown. This is implemented by an
init script run at end of system boot and start of system
shutdown which creates/removes a file in /var/lib/libnss-ldap
called 'bind_policy_soft'. When this file exists the policy
is treated as 'soft' regardless of the configuration in
/etc/nss-ldap.conf. Note that soft doesn't mean 'always
fail' but rather only try to connect to each URI listed in
the configuration file once, with no sleeping.
Closes: #375077, #375215
