Good point. Indeed, I hadn't thought of that.

So, it's only logical then that LDAP is always queried whenever there is
 an entry like this:

> group:          files ldap

in /etc/nsswitch.conf, no matter in what order they appear.

But then: how am I supposed to start the OpenLDAP daemon? Is this only
possible on a server that doesn't use LDAP-based groups at all?

Kind regards,
