Then am I misinterpreting the fact that getent shadow returns data on ldap users when ldap is up but not when it's down? I guess I don't understand where that shadow data comes from when LDAP is up.
I just did some brief testing on installing sssd and there's a ton of fedora packages I'll need to pull. Is anyone aware of any successful attempts in using sssd on CentOS 5?

The problem still remains, when the LDAP server is offline there is no shadow data cached so LDAP users can not authenticate on cached data despite caching and local auth sufficient being enabled in authconfig .
Most LDAP servers don't provide the hash that you expect from "shadow data", so it isn't possible for nscd to cache anything. Login with LDAP is normally an interactive process, handled by the LDAP server. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
