Hi,

Has anyone tried to use nss_ldap and nscd with perform-actual-lookups in  
nscd.conf? My problem is that when I try to getent passwd or getent group  
it seems like ldap query is not made and getent does not return ldap  
users. Without nscd cache in nsswitch.conf or disabling  
perform-actual-lookups everything works fine.

My configuration is following -

uname FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE #0:  
root at mason.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

#
# nsswitch.conf(5) - name service switch configuration file
# $FreeBSD: src/etc/nsswitch.conf,v 1.1.10.1.4.1 2010/06/14 02:09:06

Running nscd -nst outputs message when querying passwd.
E3 from on_mp_read_session_response_write1: write failed



Thanks in advance
