Wow! You are right. BUT: nscd runs under "nscd" user account (not
speaking about the SELinux policy) so even nss_ldap would be called in
"nscd" user context. And besides, nss_ldap can not directly use the
system Kerberos keytab file. So nscd does not help me either.

I agree, having nss_ldapd would be the best solution, indeed.
