Normal users don't have the necessary permissions to do the lookup on
LDAP.
The authentication process is done usally by root then when you are logged
in you can't do lookups.
I've documented this here
http://www.csse.uwa.edu.au/~ashley/fedora-ds/fedora-ds-26072006.html
In Section 3.3 Binding Linux/Unix Machines to LDAPs
(way at the bottom)
Short story is turn on NSCD, this service binds as root but caches the
information for the local user. Usually information you should cache is
passwd, group and aliases information which you have to edit
/etc/nscd.conf
You might want to check this out for NSCD

Dear all,
I'm using FC6 with FDS authentication and running well but can not
show groups name only GID when command 'groups' execute on console.
Sometimes we get confuse when we saw some folder not show group name
only gid.

$groups
id: cannot find name for group ID 10001

Is there any trick how to show group name not gid on konsole.
Thanks,
