The cause of this problem is the new regular expression based checks for valid usernames. It currently rejects usernames of less than three characters. This will be fixed in the next release (the minimum will be two then). A workaround is to put this in /etc/nslcd.conf: validnames /^[a-z0-9._@$][a-z0-9._@$ \\~-]*[a-z0-9._@$~-]$/i Thanks for reporting this. -- -- arthur - adej...@debian.org - http://people.debian.org/~adejong --
