Can't retrieve specific users/groups

[Matthew Cengia <mattcen [at] gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I've configured nslcd on Ubuntu Trusty to auth against OpenLDAP.

When I use 'getent passwd' and grep for a particular user, or use
'getent group' and grep for a particular group, the user/group I expect
appears, but when I 'getent passwd username' or 'getent group
groupname', I get no results back.

Can you please take a stab at what I'm doing wrong?
