cyrus 2.1 cannot deal with LDAP group lookups without nscd. It is that
simple, and it is caused by:
1. lack of caching of group lookups in cyrus 2.1
2. openldap + nsswitch ldap module issues with libsasl.
3. lack of direct ldap group support in cyrus 2.1 that would avoid
(2).
It cannot be fixed in cyrus 2.1. In cyrus 2.2 you should use a ptloader
module for direct ldap lookups, but I am not sure if it would have problems
with nsswitch groups in ldap without nscd, so I am leaving this bug open.
