I did choose the "local authorization is sufficient option" and
I can login fine as a local user while the LDAP server is reachable.
So: it it possible to login as (any) local user when the LDAP server
is not reachable (maybe with a short delay)?
Where would the authentication info be found?
In the places referenced by the "files" target in /etc/nsswitch.conf -
in this case: /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group
How many users should be able to login?
*All* of the local ones, i.e the ones that exist in /etc/passwd,
/etc/shadow and /etc/group
Sorry, that came across as very sarcastic, but my point is that your
questions aren't immediately relevant to the problem Jos has - why are
you seeking clarification, where are your questions going?
I was seeking to find whether he expects credentials to be cached.
Windows does that.
OS X has the ability to use authentication information from different
sources (including netinfo, openldap and files), transparently. It's not
clear to me whether that's what he want's to do.
Perhaps you can learn to control your rudeness.
