[Adam Williams]

i did, otherwise I wouldn't be able to ssh in and su -l to awilliam.

[root at roark ldap]# cat /etc/nsswitch.conf |grep ldap
passwd:     files ldap
shadow:     files ldap
group:      files ldap
protocols:  files ldap
services:   files ldap
netgroup:   files ldap
automount:  files ldap
