I got the problem on updating a machine yesterday.
I used my backup of ldap.conf and applied 'bind_policy soft' in /etc/ldap.conf
This didn't work for me.
I got it running by editing /etc/nsswitch.conf:
passwd: files [UNAVAIL=return] ldap
group: files [UNAVAIL=return] ldap
shadow: files [UNAVAIL=return] ldap
I just added the [UNAVAIL=return] on these three lines. This was not necessary on prior Ubuntu versions.
I hope this helps on finding the bug. If you want me to send som conf-files or logs just tell me what you want to have.
