I have noticed huge delays in many operations (e.g. "ls -l"). After some investigation it turned out that the delays are caused by nscd when user/group name lookup is done. Even worse: it is not possible to change passwords or modify user accounts.
What's up? nobody cares?
I have /etc/.pwd.lock here dating back to 2006, so I don't think it's related to the problem. On the other hand, nscd is very buggy and crashes at least once a day here. This looks like a problem with name resolution to me, check /etc/hosts for the localhost entry. In order to investigate this further, try "strace ls" in an empty directory and check where it spends most time.
