getent not working, solaris 10 only

Hello, thanks in advance for any help!

We use LDAP for our unix boxes
When I run getent passwd on solaris 10, it only returns some of the ldap entries, not all. Aprox 300 of 4000. When i run the same command on linux or solaris 9, it comes back correct.

my nsswitch file is good.

I ran a truss, and you can clearly see in solaris 9, where it queries ldap. But, in solaris 10 truss output, i'm having a hard time seeing where it queried ldap at all, i dont see it!

And ideas why it would only return part of the ldap entries?
