 With several tools running under Linux/Linuxulator in FreeBSD ist is
 not possible to work, like acroread or linux-opera and other software

 about unknown user IDs (acroread, Gtk-toolset).

Hm. I never used FreeBSD with LDAP backed up environment.

Some linux apps display warnings about unknown IDs (something like
glib about UID 0), but it never prevented the app from functioning.

 I guess I need a complete PAM/NSS/LDAP setup in Linux
 (/compat/linux/etc), but I have no glue how to get the appropriate
 libraries (pam_ldap.so, nss_ldap.so etc.).

I don't think so. The main idea for linuxulator is to use as much as
possible. We do use FreeBSD native configure and other files and
databases. E.g. we _remove_ passwd and other files (as well as some
directories) from linux distribution before installing.

 Can anybody help?

Well, I can give you only some theory here. Sorry. :-(

1. Use FreeBSD database (passwd and friends) before LDAP.
2. Add needed IDs to LDAP database.

Uh, it should be The main idea of linuxulator is to use as much as
