nslcd is a fail on lucid for me.  Trying to start from upstart fails.  Running it by hand in debug mode works but when trying to su from one LDAP user to another it again fails:

# service nslcd start
 * Starting LDAP connection daemon nslcd      nslcd: unable to daemonize: No such device
     
Seems to work in debug mode
# /usr/sbin/nslcd -d

When I try to su to another user however, more fail:
