Our QPOPPER/LDAP/PAM setup doesn't require any pwnam entry - you'll get along just fine without :-)

Hello,
I am trying to set up a server running QPopper 4.0.5 to authenticate its users with a LDAP server. All user information should be stored in a LDAP directory (uid, gid, home directory, etc).
The LDAP server schema will be extended with attributes and object classes defined in RFC 2307.
Reading the FAQ I found that QPopper supports PAM, which means that its pam config file can use a pam_ldap module, but it also says that it still needs a _pwnam_ entry for the user (the system call getpwnam() get this info from /etc/passwd).
The question is:
Where will QPopper get this pwnam entry for each user if it is configured with PAM support and its PAM config file uses a LDAP module?
I suppose it will get it from the LDAP server, however I want to be sure.
Thanks, Geronimo
