Good morning All, I'm trying to configure my server as an LDAP client. I installed the nslcd service and it's working great. My problem is when I issue the command getent passwd it only returns the LDAP user not the local users. # # nsswitch.conf(5) - name service switch configuration file # $FreeBSD: releng/10.2/etc/nsswitch.conf 224765 2011-08-10 20:52:02Z dougb $ # group: file ldap group_compat: nis ldap hosts: files dns networks: files passwd: file ldap passwd_compat: nis ldap shells: files services: files services_compat: nis protocols: files rpc: files When I change the above group and passwd setting back to compat (which was the default configuration) I get the local users but none of the ldap users show up. In fact nslcd is not even called (i've checked by running it in debug mode). So how do I configure nsswitch to use both the local /etc/passwd file and the ldap. I need this because without it services will not start. IE nslcd complains that nslcd is not a valid user when using the above configuration. Any help would greatly be appreciated, Shawn
