NOTE: This is a regression (or design change) from Jaunty.

Installing nscd gets rid of this error message when trying to sudo as an ldap 
user
sudo: setreuid(ROOT_UID, user_uid): Operation not permitted

With nscd installed and ldaps and ssl on, I can sudo as an ldap user.  In 
addition, I can su from an ldap user to a local user.  However, I cannot su 
from a local user to an ldap user.
nhav...@cslab04:/homes.all/linux/nhavens$ su ladmin
Password: 
lad...@cslab04:/homes.all/linux/nhavens$ su nhavens
Password: 
setgid: Operation not permitted
lad...@cslab04:/homes.all/linux/nhavens$ 

In /etc/ldap.conf, with the following combination, I still get "Operation not 
permitted"
ldaps://**********
ssl off

The "Operation not permitted" error, when suing from local to ldap users
only goes away when I change ldaps://***** to ldap://******
