getent still fails, now I'm getting can't connect messages again.

Dec 16 12:59:58 ldap nscd: nss_ldap: could not search LDAP server - Server is unavailable

Also, the People container was removed and not re-added when I re-created the tree with webmin,
hence, I modified the lines in /etc/ldap.conf to reflect:

nss_base_passwd         dc=tncionline,dc=net
nss_base_shadow         dc=tncionline,dc=net
nss_base_group          dc=tncionline,dc=net

and by the way... don't waste time trying to authenticate users/groups
that don't exist.

If they don't show up when you give commands like...

getent passwd
getent group

you aren't going to be able to authenticate... the system doesn't see
them. You can't authenticate users that don't exist. Likewise, groups
that don't exist or memberships to groups that don't exist are a
problem.
