[K12OSN] gnome login errors

[Brad Johnson]

what is hosting your ldap services?? OS X?  If so, make sure your  
users have a default login shell chosen.  By default, my users on my  
os x server did not have a login shell chosen, and I rangled with  
this exact issue for months before I figured this out.
