But I still wonder how could getent pull up default home directory for a non-existent user for which ldaplist doesn't work. I am not seeing anything apart from ldap and /etc/passwd references in nsswitch.conf file.
Also finger returns the same default home directory.
Display home directory - echo ~user1 below is the output :
Although a default home directory is returned it doesn't exist.
getent has below output:
finger has below output:
nsswitch.conf:
Output for ldaplist is same as in th previous post. And /etc/passwd has nothing specifc to this user.
Observe - getent and finger return default home directory for a non-existent user. While ldaplist says Object not found.
Assuming this user does have access, he tried logging in with LDAP credentials to authenticate which I would assume use the same sources as in nsswitch.conf but failed.
So I am not sure what makes this non-existent user different than other non-existent accounts?
NIS (known as the yellow pages in the last century) is a protocol available with almost all if not all Unix implementations, it is not Solaris specific.
