When a user logs in on a fat client, that user's info is copied to the /etc/passwd file in the fat client's network filesystem.
But, in order to allow users to change their passwords, I have set up LDAP in the fat client chroot, so now there seem to be two copies of a given user. When I go to the Users and Groups application in Xfce, it says the user is disabled. If I change the password, log out, and log back in, it's as if a brand new user has been created. What I think is happening (after wondering about this for a very long time) is that the new user is being created in the RAM file system on the client, because if I reboot the client, everything goes back to normal. And--weirdly enough--the password was changed in LDAP. Is there some way to *not* copy the user into the client's /etc/passwd and just mount the /home folder over NFS or something so that I don't have to deal with these strange occurrences?
