Had the same problem, installing nscd seems to have solved the issue. However, I noticed that I had that issue with ldap users, when I was accessing ldap over SSL:
my nsswitch.conf (only usefull lines...): ---------------------------------------- passwd: files ldap [NOTFOUND=return] db group: files ldap [NOTFOUND=return] db shadow: files --------------------------------------- my /etc/ldap.conf : ----------------------------------------- base ******************** host ******************** ldap_version 3 ssl on tls_cacertfile /etc/ssl/certs/myCA.crt tls_checkpeer on pam_password_prohibit_message Please use Wiki to change your password bind_policy soft nss_initgroups_ignoreusers avahi,avahi-autoipd,backup,bin,clamav,couchdb,daemon,dhcpd,freerad,games,gdm,gnats,haldaemon,hplip,irc,kernoops,klog,libuuid,list,lp,mail,man,mcn,messagebus,michael,mysql,news,ntp,ntpd,openldap,pdns,polkituser,postfix,proxy,pulse,root,saned,sftp,snmp,speech-dispatcher,sshd,sync,sys,syslog,uml-net,uucp,vde2-net,www-data ----------------------------------------- Just changing ssl from 'off' to 'on' made me have the issue.... and reverting it back to 'off' made it work again....
