Do they show up with 'getent passwd'? getent shadow isn't necessary to
expire passwords (if you are going to be authenticating via pam, which
is more secure than nss and getent shadow IMHO).

Also, if you are running nscd, have you restarted it?

We would need to see your /etc/ldap.conf too (or a sanitized version of it).
