If it's ybbind that's causing issues, then chances are it's related to
the NSS setup, i.e. /etc/nsswitch.conf and other related config specific
to Yellow Pages stuff (I forget what they are as it's been > 10years
since I used it!)

It could be the NSS system is asking for user/group info via YP and this
is timing out or hanging due to lack of network etc. because the units
are misconfigured (the same issues exist with NSS-LDAP but this is
likely setup better as it's more commonplace these days).
