If user01 is sometimes found, and sometimes not, then complain to
your vendor and tell them to fix the nsswitch passwd plug-in for
LDAP. ]

- It must report a "user not found" condition IF AND ONLY IF the
LDAP server replies that the user does not exist.

- It MUST NOT report "user not found" when it fails to receive
a reply from the LDAP server.
