Steve, Would you agree to adding the broken_shadow option to pam_unix in the account mode? The use case here is a laptop that normally authenticates with kerberos and gets it's NSS from LDAP, including the shadow map, even though it's not really used in this situation (due to the use of

Steve, You can close this. i have figured out how to make my LDAP passwd map behave. For anyone following along or who may find this in their travels, you will want to remove the shadowAccount object class from any ldap entries which represent users that should be authenticated by Kerberos --

Sorry, but this is a libnss-ldap bug or a bug in your configuration. The pam_unix module checks the password field returned getpwnam() for the value 'x', and if found, consults the shadow database. If libnss- ldap isn't going to make the shadow database available, then it shouldn't refer callers
