[K12OSN] User accounts failing login from ldap/samba server to k12ltsp

[David Trask]

Randy....check to see if nscd is running....if it is...consider disabling
it and then restarting ldap, smb, etc.  You don't need nscd for an
installation of your size and I can honestly say that nscd had some
serious bugs in the releases that came out last summer....kept crashing
for no reason.
