I had a similar problem after an release upgrade from 12.04.3 to 14.04.1. After the upgrade, only local users could log in and any command was very slooow. In particular commands like add-user or add-group would never finish.
Removing mentions of ldap in nsswitch.conf seemed to solve the problem. In the end I discovered that the apparent cause was removing this line from nsswitch: passwd_compat: ldap and using instead passwd: compat ldap After this change, everything worked normally. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to libnss-ldap in 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-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
