CentOS - Sep 2007 - pam_ldap + nscd

Hi,

I'd like to use nscd for passwd+group caching. pam_ldap is configured and
works
(e.g. 'id foo' returns the correct user id if foo is present in ldap).

If I start nscd manually (not started by default), 'id foo' returns
'No such
user'. As soon as I stop nscd, 'id foo' starts working again. I
suspect nscd is
only looking at /etc/passwd because 'id root' always works (root is
present in
/etc/passwd).

This is on a CentOS 5 system. Disabling SELinux did not help.

I did not attach any config files purposefully because I don't know where to
look for the problem and attaching nsswitch.conf, ldap.conf etc. would result in
a huge post. Nevertheless, I will consider any information needed to diagnose 
the problem although I suspect that this a very simple configuration problem.

Thank you very much :-)

Eventually I found the problem:
nscd did bind anonymously and slapd was configured to prevent access to ldap 
information by anonymous users. I thought that specifying "rootbinddn"
and the
correct password in ldap.secret would prevent that but obviously nscd needs 
"binddn" and "bindpw" in ldap.conf.
