Did anyone reply? Well, here's my Friday the 13th $0.02 to try to help you: Edit (as root) your file /etc/nsswitch.conf. You will probably have: passwd: files ldap shadow: files ldap group: files ldap Remove the 'ldap' references from everywhere, and you should be fine! (as an alternative, you could use the 'authconfig' tool, and uncheck the "Use LDAP" box. I haven't tried this, but I have used authconfig to _enable_ LDAP).
