Comment 5 for bug 292971

To setup a test environment:

 1. Install the following packages:

     sudo apt-get install slapd ldap-utils ldapscripts libnss-ldap

     NB: Don't enter a root password.

 2. Check out the openldap-dit project to quickly setup a default DIT:

     bzr co lp:~mathiaz/openldap-dit/add-ldapscripts-files
     cd add-ldapscripts-files/

     sudo ln -sf ~/add-ldapscripts-files /usr/share/slapd/openldap-dit

 3. Install the default DIT:

    sudo ./openldap-dit-setup.sh -y -d example.org -p mypwd

 4. Install the ldapscripts configuration files:

    sudo cp ldapscripts/* /etc/ldapscripts/

 5. Add a new group:

   sudo ldapaddgroup testgroup1

 6. Edit nsswitch.conf to use ldap as the first provider for the group service.

 7. Check that the testgroup1 is found:

    getent group testgroup1
