Spent a lot of time on debugging why with initscripts everything works fine while with systemd my system experiences a 5 min. freeze during boot-up. Finally found it - my /etc/nsswitch.conf is as follows:
passwd: files ldap
group: files ldap
shadow: files ldap
publickey: files
hosts: dns files
networks: dns files
protocols: files
services: files
ethers: files
rpc: files
netgroup: filesNote that `files' precede `ldap'! Unfortunately systemd hangs on trying to connect to ldap server too early and it results in long freeeeeeze. I need ldap in nss. I don't need systemd but I have to use it in Arch :-( Any idea how I can manage it?

systemd should work with nss_ldap, so this is either a configuration error or a bug.
The most likely reason for this is that your local passwd/group/shadow lacks an entry used during early boot (maybe by udev?), this is not supported as the system will then try to connect to ldap to get the entry (which will not work as your network will not be up and running yet).
Have a look in your journalctl to see if you can get any detailed error messages.

I've just figured out that `passwd' and `shadow' entries don't matter. The problem is caused by the line:
group: files ldaponly. I compared `/etc/group.pacnew' and `/etc/group'. I'm not missing any groups.
My journal entries are as follows:

Feb 04 11:17:32 localhost systemd[1]: nss_ldap: failed to bind to LDAP server ldaps://194.29.178.12/: Can't contact LDAP serverThe problem can be masked by adding the following undocumented entries to `/etc/nss_ldap.conf':
nss_reconnect_tries 2
nss_reconnect_sleeptime 1
nss_reconnect_maxsleeptime 1
nss_reconnect_maxconntries 1But it only masks but not solves the problem.
