I'm setting up an LDAP-based server, which will be used for file

The long and short of it is you need to make sure that OpenSSH is
using PAM, and that your PAM configuration is correct for doing LDAP
lookups for account info and such. You also need to modify
/etc/nsswitch.conf.
I don't see an nsswitch.conf file on the machine.

I'll check it out, thanks.
The LDAP users can access ftp without trouble, but not sftp.
That is potentially interesting, but there are a wide variety of ftp
servers, and configuring authentication for them varies as well.
Without more details about how your system is configured, I expect it
will be difficult to provide additional useful advice.
It's a Mac Mini, with a generic OS X Yosemite installation, and OS X
Server 4.1 installed.
There are a couple of "local" users, which are just administrative
accounts. Everyone else is a "network" user, entered in Open DIrectory
but not in the local machine. I'm hoping that Open Directory is "close
enough" to OpenLDAP that I can transfer knowledge.
Thanks for your help!
Bill
