The ldaplist command is a pretty good start to tell me if a user is in LDAP, but it doesn't preclude a user being in /etc/passwd and depending on nsswitch.conf, either could take precedence.

Agreed, the lookup order is maintained, but it doesn't tell me if the user is local or not. It just means the getent passwd is consistent with the nsswitch.conf lookup order.
