Okay, I have something of a solution for this problem.

I have already committed the getent changes.  Those are fixed now.

For the password checking portion, I'm adding a new option to ecryptfs-
setup-private: --nopwcheck.

This will bypass the /sbin/unix_chkpwd checking.

I'll also update the usage statement and the manpage to inform users
that this option is useful if the user's password is not stored in
/etc/shadow (such as LDAP, perhaps).

Thanks for the bug report!
