Public bug reported:
I installed nslcd, libnss-ldapd, migration-tools, slapd, ldapscripts.
Using the migration-scripts I copied the users to LDAP. getent shadow
(as root) shows encrypted passwords and everything works as it should.
Lightdm however, doesn't. I'm unable to logon using Xephyr (XDMCP) or
locally.
As a workaround I can copy the line for the user back into /etc/passwd
and then login works. I don't need a line in /etc/shadow, this info
comes from LDAP.
Is lightdm using some funky stuff to deduce if a user is viable for
login that isn't transferred to LDAP?
