I had the same problem. Other solution: if the users (in my case they are app-specific demon users) are in local database (/etc/passwd), switching in nsswitch.conf to: passwd: compat ldap stops hangs of sqlplus (or dbd::oracle ;) when runnig from local users. php-oci binding seams to be immune to this, as they are not using ociserverattach. Thanks. I had the same problem. Other solution: if the users (in my case they are app-specific demon users) are in local database (/etc/passwd), switching in nsswitch.conf to:

php-oci binding seams to be immune to this, as they are not using ociserverattach.

I should have searched for "Oracle Miracle" first off. Thanks a lot, Chmouel. You saved me tons of grief! I kept Googling for “SQLPLUS HANGS”. I should have searched for “Oracle Miracle” first off.

SQLPlus was hanging from Linux, with no logical reason that I could find. Turns out that SQLPlus will hang, if you have the name service cache daemon turned off and you are running ldap auth. As I was configuring the machine and some irritating caches were occuring, I had disabled it. I can’t imagine why this causes it to hang, and I would never have figured it out myself (though it would have been fixed on the next reboot). Solution, just start nscd. Doh! Thanks Chmouel!
