[Fedora-directory-users] CPanel + FedoraDS

[Paul Singh]

Hi all,

I've got 10 CPanel servers that I administrate now and I'm bringing  
on some additional support staff to begin helping with that. The  
problem here is that I don't want to go into every machine and create  
an individual account on each box for the admins.

I started working with FedoraDS and was able to successfully get the  
machines to pull data from the LDAP server. The problem is, it seems  
to check every hosting account username too and this slows the  
machines down quite a bit since it's looking for accounts that are  
not in LDAP at all.

When looking in /etc/nssswitch.conf, I thought that the system would  
read left to write so I have:

passwd:     files ldap
shadow:     files ldap
group:      files ldap

Shouldn't that read left to right? If an account is found in the  
local files, the system should not be going to ldap to confirm. Does  
anyone know how to make this work the way I would like it to?

Thanks in advance.
