Does ls -l hang? We were using NIS for some things, then stopped
connecting to the NIS server for various reasons (our choosing) and
ls -l would hang (I suspect when getting group information it was
trying to query the NIS server). After removing the +:0:0.... lines
from group & passwd it worked fine ;)...
