Finding references to /etc/passwd and replacing with genent calls helps (see attached diff).
However the use of /sbin/unix_chkpwd for password verification will apparently fail for LDAP due to the ordering in /etc/pam.d/common- password (pam_unix first, then pam_ldap). You can use --loginpass to bypass this issue. http://osdir.com/ml/linux.pam/2007-04/msg00008.html ** Attachment added: "Replace references to /etc/passwd" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21807950/ecryptfs-setup-private_ldap.diff -- ecryptfs-setup-private breaks with ldap user accounts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/317307 You received this bug notification because you are a member of eCryptfs, which is subscribed to ecryptfs-utils in ubuntu.
