Where does id / getent query ?
I'm typing "id <user's id>" and its returning a different UID that what is defined in our administration system. Where does id / getent query and where is it configured to query? I'm guessing it queries the local /etc/passwd file first, and then if it doesn't find anything it would query LDAP correct?

KTRANS(1) General Commands Manual KTRANS(1)
NAME
ktrans - language transliterator
SYNOPSIS
ktrans
DESCRIPTION
The ktrans program installs itself between the keyboard and /dev/cons and transliterates typed letter sequences into characters in lan-
guages that do not use the Latin character set. The language is selected by typing a control character:
ctl-E return to default English mode (no transliteration).
ctl-G Japanese hiragana: interpret lower-case letters as a Hepburn representation of hiragana. In this mode, typing ctl-T looks up the
last `word' in a hiragana-kanji dictionary and replaces it. Subsequent ctl-T characters cycle through the possibilities. A word is
the longest immediately preceding unbroken string of hiragana characters.
ctl-K Japanese katakana.
ctl-R Russian: interpret letters as Cyrillic; the transliteration is mostly phonetic, with ' for myagkij-znak (), '' for tverdyj-znak ()
yo for , j for i-kratkaya ().
ctl-L Greek.
FILES
/dev/kbd
SOURCE
/sys/src/cmd/ktrans
SEE ALSO

BUGS
Considerably more sophistication is required to support ideographic languages properly.
There is no way to generate the control characters literally.
