I ran into this issue today and I'm very surprised this issue is that old. This bug makes Ubuntu as an LDAP client unusable.
#17 did help for faster booting of the machine, but that's it. Any command is still so slow, the machine is useless. #2 tried it like this: - Adapted init script /etc/init.d/libnss-ldap like mentioned - created /etc/nsswitch.conf.local which does NOT contain ldap - created /etc/nsswitch.conf.ldap which does contain ldap This again works for a very fast boot, but once libnss-ldap is started (and therefore the ldap version of nsswitch.conf becomes active), the system is bloody slow again. #1 works to regain a "normal" system with local logins but ldap logins still time out. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1024475 Title: libnss-ldap causes boot hang on Ubuntu 12.04 Precise To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libnss-ldap/+bug/1024475/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
