Thanks Andrej, 

That gives me hope.  I haven't gotten so far as to actually configure the LDAP 
client yet.  I didn't want to 'break' what was currently working.

That should be pretty much default; check
/etc/nsswitch.conf

Look for passwd, shadow & groups; if they say XXX files ldap you're already
there in regards to the "mix".  The system will first check for users
locally, then
in LDAP.

Not sure how SuSE handles LDAP, but there might be a /etc/ldap.conf file ?
