Bug Description
Running ubuntu 14.04 LTS with lightdm 1.10.0-0ubuntu3
The system is configured to use NIS so has:
passwd: files nis
group: files nis
shadow: files nis
in /etc/nsswitch.conf.
A NIS user can log in on a virtual console (tty1 etc.) but trying
to log in under lightdm fails, with the following in dmesg:
[ 1452.065454] lightdm[2957]: segfault at 0 ip 00007fd8935b9be0 sp 00007fffaeafd270 error 4 in libc-2.
and the following in /var/log/

I think this is actually an instance of 1308043, and removing pam-kwallet fixes the problem.
