Hello everybody,

In short:

nsswitch seems not to honor (fully) the criteria and actions of 
nsswitch.conf. A detailed analysis of my problem can be found on this 
thread (it's on freebsd forums, and it hasn't been answered yet):

http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=22716

Thank you all for your time and help in advance,

I hope that somebody will help me realize how nsswitch works, so as to 
see if and how caching may help me on an nss_ldap authenticated 
configuration,

regards,

mamalos
