Re: [nssldap] RV: Unix id command and Openldap

[Patrick Wolfe <pwolfe [at] employease.com>]

the "id" command works fine on our FreeBSD 6 and CentOS 4.x/5.x  
servers.  Make sure your /etc/nsswitch.conf says "passwd: files ldap"  
and "group: files ldap", or else id won't be searching ldap for ids  
and groups.
