At some point, this started working again after a dist-upgrade, so
nss_initgroups_ignoreusers is working for me.

The only thing I've done on top of that for house keeping purposes, is
to modify the init script to remove the ignoreusers line on system start
(the configs are controlled vi puppet, and the file will keep changing
otherwise).

For anyone else with a similar issue, I'm using this:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

                else

                fi
                ;;
        *)
                echo "Usage: $0 {start|restart|force-reload|stop}"
                exit 1
        ;;
