Bug Description
I did a 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.
Hence some installation commands would hang.
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

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
I don't think this is described in enough detail for a developer to begin to look at the problem. I can't tell whether this is a local misconfiguration or not, either.
Please could you post steps for a developer to reproduce the problem?
You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http:// www.chiark. greenend. org.uk/ ~sgtatham/ bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem, explain why you believe this is a bug in Ubuntu rather than a problem specific to your system, and then change the bug status back to New.
