I agree completely.  Would not trust offline auth to nscd.  Haven't looked at
nss_cache/libnss-db.

I would like to be able to seed by off-line shadow account password from the
LDAP server, hence the other question about supporting SSHA in /etc/shadow. 
Anything preventing this other than lack of code?
