I have the same problem described in the Bug 375077, despite this bug appears as fixed in 251-4 version, my hosts running Debian Lenny show the same behavior reported in it. Four hosts with Lenny installed (and different architectures: i386, arm and mips) have this exact same issue: udev hangs indefinitely when using libnss-ldap. No timeouts, no error messages, ... nothing, I can press Ctrl+C and the boot process continue. If I configure nsswitch to use only local files, udev boots correctly.
I am using libnss-ldap, and my /etc/nsswitch.conf is this: passwd: files ldap [UNAVAIL=return] group: files ldap [UNAVAIL=return] shadow: files ldap [UNAVAIL=return] hosts: files dns ldap [UNAVAIL=return] networks: files ldap [UNAVAIL=return] protocols: db files ldap [UNAVAIL=return] services: db files ldap [UNAVAIL=return] ethers: db files rpc: db files ldap [UNAVAIL=return] automount: files ldap [UNAVAIL=return] And libnss-ldap is configured with bind_policy soft. I have detected that some udev-rules search for groups not in /etc/groups (like nvram or fuse) I added them to local files, but reading the bug report (IMHO), bind_policy soft would be enough to exit immediately if network nor LDAP is available and udev would boot normaly. Currently all of my Debian Lenny hosts show this same problem during boot, udev hangs without any error message. The most strange is that I've create the nvram group in all 4 hosts and in one of them udev boots normally now, but other three shows the same problem: udev hangs if nsswitch is configured to seek libnss-ldap. I don't like to reopen again the old bug before comenting it in the list and probably this is a misconfiguration or libnss-ldap installation problem. Can someone provide some clues?
