I retried the step to reproduce and encountered the anotehr behavior with the
newest xfsprogs built at the test machine. In this test, getpwnam()
worked fine, but quota didn't work for LDAP user.
test result("testquota" is local user and "sat" is LDAP user here):
===============================================================================
# mount -t xfs -o loop,usrquota xfs.img mnt
# ~sat/src/xfsprogs/quota/xfs_quota -xc "report -h" /dev/loop0

I tried it with real partition rather than loopback device, but the result
was the same.
I'll investigate it in detail later...
Does anyone have the system with which xfs + usrquota + LDAP works fine?
Although I still suspect my LDAP configuration, it is appeared that
getpwnam() works fine now and I doublt another reason too.
Thanks,
Satoru
