hi everyone,

I'm using nss_db to store more of the user account info instead of using
/etc/passwd. Only the system accounts are in /etc/passwd, while the
1000+ user accounts are in /var/db/passwd.db. I have set
/etc/nsswitch.conf to contain "passwd: files db" and "passwd: db files",
but either way, gnome-session takes 20+ seconds to load. I can login
normally at a text login prompt and the KDE login is fast, like <2
seconds. The gnome-session is fast, but only if I put the user's info
into /etc/passwd. "getent passwd user >> /etc/passwd" is the command
that I have used to do that. I'm baffled as to why gnome-session is not
playing nicely with nss_db. Things are OK about a minute after login,
but the gnome login is horribly slow when the user's info isn't in
/etc/passwd.

Does anyone have any insight into this problem?

Do you have nscd running?  Does login speed change if nscd is running
vs. not?
I've tried nscd. login speed is the same whether it's on or off.

I'd open a ticket with Redhat.
