This is related with systemd and dbus. Possibly nsswitch, ldap and nscd.

However dbus sees the user as not being authenticated. As such, I'm switching this over to dbus.

We see this issue every now and then depending on what we install so I feel there's a race condition taking place which affects the order. I'll put more details below, hopefully we can at least advise others on this particular scenario if it's not a bug, however as systemd has before, after methods, perhaps we can refine the unit files?
