nslcd, ldap, and netgroups

Hey;

I am trying to set up a machine that will eventually be a file server (running 10.2-RELEASE) and I am having a few head-scratching issues. The biggest one right now is that getent netgroup <name> doesn't return anything, even if it is a valid name.

This machine is a client of our openldap environment, and getent passwd and the like seem to work just fine.

I have a truss running on the ldap server, and when I try to getent netgroup <name> there is no action. So I ran a truss(1) on the getent(1), and find that the system will only search the file /etc/netgroup (which is empty), despite that my /etc/nsswitch.conf looks like this:
Code: 
group: files ldap
hosts: files dns
networks: files ldap
netgroup: ldap
passwd: files ldap
shells: files
services: compat
services_compat: files
protocols: files
rpc: files

If I put a netgroup into /etc/netgroup, it will find it with the getent(1).

Help?

Are networks supposed to work? I guess the next question should have been, is this as planned?

It's probably best to ask on the mailing lists. Not sure which one is the best for this though, probably freebsd-net@.
