I have exactly the same thing here. I have had to resort to a hacked
together authentication system that first looks at a flat file for a
half dozen users, and then does ldap_auth for everybody else (who don't
have /etc/passwd entries to cut-n-paste). Not sure why - I did think
it would work, but maybe sasl needs to be thrown into the mix.
