NSS ldap errors

Hi,

I'm trying to implement net/nss-pam-ldapd on 9.2-RELEASE, and hitting 
some NSS issues.  PAM authentication with SSH works fine, but there are 
a lot of NSS errors in /var/log/debug.log:

Mar  4 17:15:00 <cron.debug> cstor1 cron[68418]: NSSWITCH(_nsdispatch): 
ldap, passwd, getpwnam_r, not found, and no fallback provided
Mar  4 17:15:00 <cron.debug> cstor1 cron[68418]: NSSWITCH(_nsdispatch): 
ldap, group, setgrent, not found, and no fallback provided
Mar  4 17:15:00 <cron.debug> cstor1 cron[68418]: NSSWITCH(_nsdispatch): 
ldap, group, getgrent_r, not found, and no fallback provided
Mar  4 17:15:00 <cron.debug> cstor1 cron[68418]: NSSWITCH(_nsdispatch): 
ldap, group, endgrent, not found, and no fallback provided
Mar  4 17:15:00 <cron.debug> cstor1 cron[68418]: NSSWITCH(_nsdispatch): 
ldap, passwd, endpwent, not found, and no fallback provided
Mar  4 17:15:11 <user.debug> cstor1 -bash: NSSWITCH(_nsdispatch): ldap, 
passwd, getpwuid_r, not found, and no fallback provided
Mar  4 17:15:11 <user.debug> cstor1 -bash: NSSWITCH(_nsdispatch): ldap, 
passwd, endpwent, not found, and no fallback provided

And in the case of bash, it's unable to resolve the LDAP username, and 
the resulting PS1 prompt shows:

[I have no name!@cstor1 ~]$

The author of nss-pam-ldapd isn't sure what the problem is:

http://lists.arthurdejong.org/nss-pam-ldapd-users/2014/msg00044.html

FWIW, the same problems occur with net/nss_ldap.

Any NSS gurus who can help?


Thanks,
Aragon
