Yes, it appears from the strace that glibc is only reading
/etc/passwd and not querying the ldap server.

As you can see, it only dynamically loads the local files name
service library, not the ones that do ldap lookups.

Can you run ldd on the test binary you had and on xfs_quota to see
if they are linked against the same libraries?

Other than that, I've go no idea why glibc would be behaving
differently for the same library call from different binaries.
it tends to imply a problem outside of xfs_quota, but I know close
to nothing about LDAP and the glibc name services, so I don't know
what more I can do to help here....

Cheers,

Dave.
