I believe that falling back to the local static database would be more
confusing. And probably useless too, since on a properly configured
system an user would be first looked up in /etc/passwd and only if not
there LDAP would be used.
Debian had similar problems, and after quickly reading his introduction
I did not find anything questionable in Roy's patch.
