samba - Jul 2002 - bug or "feature" ?

I'm not sure if this is normal or not. I run Samba 2.2.5 with LDAP on
RH Linux 7.2.
The thing is, it only works correctly when nscd is running. Otherwise it
can't getpwnam
and fails with no uid error. Interesting thing, there is no such effect
on Debian Linux. Weird...


pdb_ldap.c:

     sys_user = sys_getpwnam(username);
        if (sys_user == NULL) {
                DEBUG (2,("init_sam_from_ldap: User [%s] does not ave a
uid!\n", username))

Sounds like and iss between your nss_xxx.so libraries and nscd.
Are you using nss_ldap?  If so, are you using the latest version from 
PADL?
