I have had some time to look at this more and do not believe it is a
problem with non-existent groups. When ldap is supplied in ldap.conf,
then glibc will check ldap when glibc's initgroups() is used.
initgroups() is used by start-stop-daemon (which starts most daemons on
boot). By definition, initgroups() tries to find all the groups a
particular user is in, so glibc checks nsswitch.conf for all available
nameservices (eg both 'file' and 'ldap'), and uses them.
With this in mind, I configured a feisty and gutsy machine to have
identical /etc/nsswitch.conf files, and equivalent /etc/ldap.conf files
(feisty uses /etc/libnss-ldap.conf instead of /etc/ldap.conf). Can you
post your /etc/ldap.conf and /etc/libnss-ldap.conf-dpkg.old files (the
second should be an automatic backup that was created with debconf if
you decided to not manually configure). If you do not have /etc/libnss-
ldap.conf-dpkg.old, please post your previous version of /etc/libnss-
ldap.conf.
