/usr/sbin/namcd[6929]:  ldap_initconn: LDAP bind failed to Preferred Server (error = [81]), trying to connect to alternative LDAP server

/usr/sbin/namcd[6929]:  ldap_initconn: Alternative ldap server list not configured in config file, No ldap servers are reachable... error[2]

Check the /etc/nam.conf file and verify the preferred-server points to a working LDAP server with the appropriate replicas.
Also, in the nam.conf file make sure the "alternative-ldap-server-list" parameter is configured to point to additional LDAP servers.The syntax for this parameter is to have a comma-separated list of names (or IPAddresses) of alternate LDAP servers.

For example:

alternative-ldap-server-list 10.0.0.12,10.0.0.13,10.0.0.14

To test if namcd is what is hanging these command, use the strace command. For example, to strace the top command use the following syntax:

strace -tt -T -f -o /tmp/top.out top

This command will output the contents of the strace command to a file called /tmp/top.out

If the server that is specified in the nam.conf file does not respond to LDAP request, the namcd daemon will simply wait for a response. If there is no alternative-ldap-server-list, then namcd will simply hang. To end any of the hung command you will need to do a ctl-c. To get the services to start responding again restart namcd by doing rcnamcd restart.
