no, sorry that is not correct.
There is always one account that do not obey that rule, that's root
(never seen anybody putting it into ldap, it is always in /etc/passwd).
And I've seen other environments that also use ldap only for samba user
part storage and not for unix user storage (no nss_ldap on the system).
