This does indeed look to be Invalid in libnss-ldap. Its worth taking a
look at in glibc though as perhaps there is some work to resolve this in
NSS's design, so opening a bug task against eglibc.
** Changed in: libnss-ldap (Ubuntu)

Title:
libnss-ldap create troubles in gnome session when ldap server is
unreacheable
Status in GDM: The Gnome Display Manager:
New
Status in “eglibc” package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in “libnss-ldap” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: libnss-ldap
System : Maverick RC
Steps to reproduce:
- Install libnss-ldap and set it up correctly
=> Gnome sessions should work normally for a local user
- Plug the computer in an other network or unplug it
=> the ldap server should be unreacheable
- Click on the full name of a local user in GDM
=> The password prompt doesn't appears immediately. This isn't the expected
result
- Enter the password and login
=> Startup sound start about 15 seconds later. 20 seconds after logged in,
the gnome-panel and the sound menu appears, but the sound is considered as mute
an the sound menu doesn't appears when clicking on it.
Expected results:
- "getent passwd" may give a result immediately (the is a delay of 1 second)
- gdm should prompt for the password immediately
- the sound menu should work normally
Workaround: install libnss-ldapd that use nscd with some cache
mechanisms that provide the expected results above.
