It has nothing to do with whether the service itself does anything with LDAP, only if it runs as non-root and your nss_ldap configuration is broken.

With 'bind_policy hard', or without 'bind_policy soft', and the LDAP host/uri configured in /etc/ldap.conf not available, compare the behaviour of:

$ getent passwd nobody
and
$ groups nobody

(BTW., some distros default bind_policy to 'soft' ...)
