Re: [courier-users] question about pam usage with authldap

This is a MIME GnuPG-signed message. If you see this text, it means that
your E-mail or Usenet software does not support MIME signed messages.
The Internet standard for MIME PGP messages, RFC 2015, was published in 1996.
To open this message correctly you will need to install E-mail or Usenet
software that supports modern Internet standards.

You probably have LDAP_GLOB_UID and LDAP_GLOB_GID set. Mapping them to
numeric uid and gid requires a call to getpwnam() and getgrnam().
