...and you just hit on something that solved the problem. It seems that FR was
getting the group info from LDAP indirectly, through the PAM module, which was
configured using authconfig. Running authconfig pointing to the local LDAP server
solved the problem.
/etc/pam.d/system-auth
auth required pam_env.so
auth sufficient pam_unix.so nullok try_first_pass
auth requisite pam_succeed_if.so uid >= 500 quiet
auth sufficient pam_ldap.so use_first_pass
auth required pam_deny.so
Dovecot, sshd and other apps transparently use LDAP this way. I didn't think FR
did (and maybe it doesn't completely), because I seem to recall trying to get it
to work on an older version (using Auth-type=PAM) that way with no luck...but that
was a while ago.
