Thanks for the fix! We will start testing it!

If we still have problems with the map from id to name I guess I will have 
to do something like Bill mentioned (wrapper script in path). The problem 
we are having is that we have 100+ servers all using openpkg. At midnight 
when the daily openpkg cron jobs run all servers do full LDAP dumps of 50k 
users and 50k groups at the same time. This really kills the LDAP servers. 
We do actually have the openpkg users in /etc/passwd, but the getent still 
forces an LDAP lookup. Getent is very useful with NSS LDAP, so I don't want 
to overwrite it.

Thanks again!
