I just had to downgrade from libc6 2.3.2-2 to 2.3.1-17, due to the same reasons reported previously..
su, ssh and proftpd reported:
"Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info.."
(su would let me into the accounts after displaying that message)
I'm using a combination of NIS and local accounts (whew!) .. local accounts in the passwd/shadow file could log in, however NIS accounts had problems .. NIS itself appeared to be working (could ypcat the maps, and even "id" the NIS users, just couldn't log in)
as soon as I downgraded just the libc6 package (still running with all other packages [pam, etc..] as the latest versions in unstable), the accounts could log in again ..
I can provide more information/testing if needed..
