problems with nsswitch.conf and KDM



[please CC me on replies]

We are using LDAP to manage our cluster and have modified the
/etc/nsswitch.conf file accordingly. For instance, the line for user
accounts reads:

  passwd: ldap files

Unfortunately, this causes kdm not to display any users. If we use

  passwd: files ldap

instead, then kdm works again. However, then sudo and a couple other
apps that use getgrnam(3) don't work anymore.

Is this a known bug? Is there any way I can make kdm work with the
first form of the passwd entry in /etc/nsswitch.conf?
