This is still an issue on 14.04 LTS.
This was fixed ages ago with this change:
libnss-ldap (251-5.2) unstable; urgency=high
* Change the init script policy. Instead of stopping libnss-ldap.init on
clean shutdown (touching a file) and starting it after networking (rm-ing
it), we touch the file in /lib/init/rw as soon as possible (right before
udev is started, touching a file) and stop it after initial system bootup.
This fixes both issues with /var being on a separate partition, and
unclean shutdown where the file would not be created. (To make sure we
don't get similar problems during shutdown, we create it in runlevels 0
and 6 as before, but we don't assume it's still there when we boot, since
it's on a tmpfs now.) (Closes: #375077)
..but at some point got removed with this change:
libnss-ldap (259-1) unstable; urgency=low
* Remove old kluge /etc/init.d/libnss-ldap
Not totally sure what was supposed to be replacing that "kluge", maybe it was
the "nss_initgroups_ignoreusers" thing, but it's not working currently, that's
for sure.
Boot time is well over 2 mins atm, verses about 5 seconds with the ldap entry
removed for groups in nsswitch.conf
Someone must have some ideas for this.
Cheers,
jcat
