Just to add the note that the same or at least very similar symptoms
appear with nss-mysql (the debian package libnss-mysql) and no NIS.
With 2.3.2 I can login via gdm, but not on the console. I can't su but I
can ssh into the machine. If I remove mysql from the group line in
nsswitch.conf then ro
After upgrading to libc 2.3.2 on debian sid, the libnss-mysql package
stops to work correctly:
console logins hang (for /etc/passwd and mysql accounts), su hangs etc.
of course having read that it will also break the mathematica kernel
means I can't really consider upgrading our systems anyways.
