This I think has to be the next course of action (Debug not tipsy, that
comes afterwards :-) )

Ooops, missed that one :-(

But the OP is running Fedora Core6 not FBSD? However, never fear I am here
to try to add my typos and dodgy whit to the game :-)

<Snipped> Good grief this thread is hard to follow with posts after sigs
and all sorts ;-)

Good, but as which user?

Has it been confirmed that this is the Postfix UID/ GID?

Perhaps a better question is; What is it trying to do? I am a little
bemused why MS is making this call...

Having read the port description here
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/net/nss_ldap/pkg-descr I guess
this is being for passwd/ group look ups, which fits with the Postfix user
issue that there seems to be. Not being a RH/ rpm user I don't know where
to look for this module but is it installed? I don't remember anything
like this is part of the MailScanner port in FBSD.
