From: Dan on
I figured out what my problem was. It was with nss_ldap not
authenticating off of ldap. I didn't notice it before because I had all
the same users etc in the local file as I did in ldap. After adding
some more users to ldap and running "getent passwd", I realized they
weren't showing up. I looked around and tried to turn on debugging but
it didn't work. I then realized it obviously wasn't reading the
ldap.conf under my /etc/openldap directory. I linked that conf to /etc
and voila everything works! Something to keep in mind for people seeing
what I was seeing.
