I have spent the last couple of days wrestling with some major problems, and discovered that both are caused by the recent nss_ldap fix. I'm going to submit some bug reports on Bugzilla, but I just thought I would see if anyone else was suffering from the same thing.
Briefly (on SuSE 10.2):
(1) dhcpd will not start: it falls over immediately after forking. Can be worked round by starting in debug mode.
dhcpd probably runs in a chroot jail in /var/lib/dhcp. The init script /etc/init.d/dhcpd tries to keep the chroot jail up to date, but maybe the security fix introduces something which broke this. If that's the reason, you should be able to work around by disabling chroot'ing in /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd.
(2) If a terminal session starts when nscd is not running then no processes can be run at all, e.g. typing 'date' produces no output and simply returns a new shell prompt
Ouch.
