Hi,

In Mandriva, we used this built-in parser so that the user lookup
doesn't hang udevd when ldap is used.

It's not a distribution specific problem, see this Debian bug report
for a complete description of the issue:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug75077

How is udevd supposed to handle user lookup when nsswitch is
configured to use network-related services and no network is
available?

Regards
