passwd: compat ldap group: compat ldap shadow: compat ldap hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 networks: files protocols: db files services: db files ethers: db files rpc: db files netgroup: nis If I use the command "getent passwd" I get all of the passwd entries of the local system and additionally the information about the users stored on the ldap server.
