I've finally gotten everything to work (save for the issue with getting
the MD5 /etc/shadow entries working, things work if I redo the password
using MD5, crypt, SHA, or whatever using slappasswd).
It looks like gid -> cn resolution issue was a caching issue. I restarted
nscd and it worked. Authentication is noticably slower, though. Two to
three seconds compared to almost instantaneously. The initial ls is also
awfully slow on /home (where each uid gets resolved to a name for the
first time). After that life is normal again thanks to the nscd.
It looks like it's just a matter of finding out how to get my MD5
/etc/shadow entries working and I'll be ... ready to explore some other
details like adding users, deleting users, modifying passwords, using
Postfix-LDAP and Courier-LDAP, and so on. :)
I might finally be able to divorce my Maildirs from the home directories.
Maybe put it somewhere obscurbe like /var/lib so people don't delete their
Maildirs from Windows. Hahaha. :)
