Same sort of situation with our systems, we would need to cache
credentials for laptop users in our (slightly appended) RHEL systems.
Additions include newer nss_ldap (220) and pam_ldap (169).

The base problem with using nss_updatedb is that it isn't smart to cache
all of the users in our network on every laptop. Basically those users
that utilize the system is enough for our purposes. Do you have
configuration suggestions to this?

I also read that pam_ccreds upcoming features include caching of home
directories, which would be better for us.
