 working alright besides this, but I would like to be able to extract a
 list of users or groups at certain times.  At this point, I see no way
 to do it since there is no /etc/passwd or /etc/group to check.

 Thanks

John,

Just out of curiousity, what in this post make you think that
an update nss_ldap would solve the problem?  Have you experienced
this bug ?   Just curious.

Off hand I would probably be more apt to point at a corrupted
index in the slapd database.

 this bug ?   Just curious.

I helped Scott with his set up originally. The version of nss_ldap I pointed 
Scott at has a bug that is fixed in later release. It causes the exact 
symptoms he reported. I have had to update to nss_ldap 242 in a number of 
sites to fix this same problem.

Actually after posting this question earlier in the morning, Pierre sent 
the fix to me within a few minutes.  The following line in the 
slapd.conf file took care of my problems.

I will also do an update though.

 this is a feature or bug?

Most likely a bug in your configuration since it works fine for me.

In your network configuration have you:

1. Installed the Client for Microsoft Networks?
2. Configured it to: Log onto a Windows NT Domain?
3. Entered the correct domain name for 2. above?
4. Set the workgroup to the same as your domain name?
5. In the Access Control tab have you set it to use User Level Access
Control and set the Obtain lsit of users from to the name of your
domain?
