I have to admit, I really don't know where to begin on
this. LDAP has never been my strong suit. We use LDAP
authentication for most of our servers. We have one user
for whom the client machines seem to forget about. In
order to restore his account's functionality, I have to
stop and then start nslcd. Sometimes the client machines
do not even realize his account exists, sometimes it knows
the account exists, but doesn't assign the correct group
memberships. Other accounts are not impacted by this.
Does anyone have any idea where to even begin looking
into an issue like this?<br>

<div>I suspect I might know a thing or two about the LDAP
system in question...</div>

</div>
<div>To confirm:</div>
<div>1) Only 1 user is affected?</div>
<div>2) They are affected on multiple machines? Is it all
machines?</div>
<div>3) Does it happen at the same time across all machines?</div>
<div>4) When it occurs on a machine, what does "getent
passwd <username>" return? A password entry, an
error, or nothing? Also might want to try "getent passwd
<uid>" to see if the behavior differs.<br>
