Seems that I'm not the only one with this problem. There are several fixes which collectively seem to put things back to normal. See http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99564
Workarounds are suggested in the bug you pointed out. Just comment out the udev entries that use non-exsting groups such as "tpm".
On the forums, several people made shell scripts that switched between two nsswitch.conf during bootup and after. This really is an ugly hack.
Another option is to put timeouts in ldap.conf. It's barely documented but someone pointed this out in the forums.
This is really nasty. Had it happened on one of my servers, one of which runs gentoo, it would have cost me customers!
Thus the need to try things out before updating production servers :) Safe business practice ihmo, although this bug really a PITA.
I read someplace this was going to be fixed in later versions of nss_ldap. Let's hope things move faster than they have so far.
Hope you can find a solution, Rémi Cardona -- [email protected] mailing list
