editing the nsswitch.conf as described in the article (i.e.


        passwd: ldap compat

        group: ldap compat

        shadow: ldap compat

)
caused login problems when the ldap server was not available.
("Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info.")
i edited the file as suggested in<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/usr/share/doc/libnss-ldap/examples/nsswitch.ldap<nobr>:<wbr></nobr>


        passwd: files ldap

        group: files ldap

        shadow: files ldap

worked for me on debian sarge.
very helpful articel though!
