There is currently no effort to get a better support for LDAP in shadow.
(patch welcome, though)
LDAP is currently supported by shadow only when the libc (NSS) or PAM
provides support for LDAP.
IIRC libc developpers were already not very happy having to support LDAP (or
maybe even shadow files).
Ok, based on your comments I will mark this bug as Confirmed so it's not
stuck in the New status. It is still a Wishlist item.
Just as a FYI, many triagers on Launchpad are not necessarily FOSS
developers, it is a community driven effort. Being able to reproduce
bugs is also not usually a requir

I'm sorry, I don't have access to a computing environment with LDAP or other
network based authentication systems that I can test this bug in.
The bug was still sitting in a New status. If this is still a problem, then
please just say so and I will update the bug accordingly, there is no need to

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue
for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

No, I don't think this is at all related to PAM (the only thing PAM does
with chfn and chsh is authentication)
Surely though, this would be something that applies to any NSS source,
not just LDAP, right?
Also sound relevant to the Network Authentication specification.

chfn only understands /
The relevant PAM modules don't support this, do they? In fact, I didn't
think PAM supported this at all. That would mean hacking a lot of LDAP-
specific code into chfn.
