I have a system running openLDAP now and have noticed something "odd".  In
my /etc/nsswitch.conf I've specified for passwd, group and shadow the following

files ldap


Which I understand to authenticate against my local files first then query
the ldap server if not resolved.  

If I shutdown ldap (simulating a failure of the ldap server) and try logging
with a local user I cannot log in... period.  I however did notice the
following in my /var/log/secure log file stating it could not contact the
ldap server  then pam rejecting the account (PAM rejected by account
configuration[9]: Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info.)

Thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?  Do I need to modify further my nsswitch.conf?

Thx
