I mentioned my problem in a previous thread, but I thought I'd write up 
something a little more complete.  This is possibly a postfix problem, but my 
post didn't get a response on postfix-users, so perhaps not.  

Basically, I've installed pam_ldap and nss_ldap from PADL on Solaris 8 with 
Postfix.  Most of the setup works, with exception of things like 
/usr/ucb/whoami puking with 'no login associated with uid nnnn,' and most 
importantly, postfix not delivering mail to system mailboxes.  

What's odd is that postfix does find the user in LDAP, then goes about its 
business of appending the mail to the mailbox, but at the last step decides 
that the user doesn't exist and bounces the message.  However, with nothing 
more than an entry in /etc/passwd, everything fixes itself.  So, I'm lead to 
believe that there's a problem with NSS or PAM, but I can't tell which, 
and/or how to fix it.  

Things that *are* working: ssh, pop3, imap, ps, w, etc.  Not working: whoami, 
local mail delivery, mailx.

Any ideas?  

Thanks,
 John
