since the upgrade to Gnome 3.6 (now i have 3.8) the authentication over LDAP stops working. The whole machine does not start anymore. The machine boot, but no gdm and no X. I can login, with root, but then the tty hangs. When i look at ttyF12 i see a lot of systemd service the runs random, start and stop, start and stop.
The only way to avoid the problem is, at shutdown to overwrite the nsswitch.conf with
When machine is starting the file will overwirte with this:
So it works, but at this time i see no users in GDM. I can login at TTY but not in GDM. The only way to solve this, i must set the LDAPuserID in passwd for each user. Crazy.
I have done a lot of things to solve, but i doesn't found a solution. Here are my files:
nsswitch.conf
/etc/pam.d/system-auth
Hope anyone can help me.
Thanks and Regards.

PAM_MKHOMEDIR(8) Linux-PAM Manual PAM_MKHOMEDIR(8)NAME
pam_mkhomedir - PAM module to create users home directory
SYNOPSIS
pam_mkhomedir.so [silent] [umask=mode] [skel=skeldir]
DESCRIPTION
The pam_mkhomedir PAM module will create a users home directory if it does not exist when the session begins. This allows users to be
present in central database (such as NIS, kerberos or LDAP) without using a distributed file system or pre-creating a large number of
directories. The skeleton directory (usually /etc/skel/) is used to copy default files and also sets a umask for the creation.
The new users home directory will not be removed after logout of the user.
OPTIONS
silent
Don't print informative messages.
umask=mask
The user file-creation mask is set to mask. The default value of mask is 0022.
skel=/path/to/skel/directory
Indicate an alternative skel directory to override the default /etc/skel.
MODULE TYPES PROVIDED
Only the session module type is provided.
RETURN VALUES
PAM_BUF_ERR
Memory buffer error.
PAM_CRED_INSUFFICIENT
Insufficient credentials to access authentication data.
PAM_PERM_DENIED
Not enough permissions to create the new directory or read the skel directory.
PAM_USER_UNKNOWN
User not known to the underlying authentication module.
PAM_SUCCESS
Environment variables were set.
FILES
/etc/skel
Default skel directory
EXAMPLES
A sample /etc/pam.d/login file:
auth requisite pam_securetty.so
auth sufficient pam_ldap.so
auth required pam_unix.so
auth required pam_nologin.so
account sufficient pam_ldap.so
account required pam_unix.so
password required pam_unix.so
session required pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel/ umask=0022
session required pam_unix.so
session optional pam_lastlog.so
session optional pam_mail.so standard
