Problem is, far as I know, without using nss_cache, or something like it

reliably make the use of synchronized cached accounts a holy grail.
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?
If you really need everyone in the ldap server to be able to log in
offline, can't you run a local ldap instance that sync's when online?
