User cronjobs not working with LDAP

Have a problem with Sun's Directory Server 5.2 relating to cron and LDAP.

Users in LDAP can't run cronjobs unless they exist in
/etc/passwd, even then they can't access directories unless the "group"
entry exists in /etc/group.

I've run some tests, from LDAP no /etc entries, and included the
"groups" comand in the scripts that was failing...it showed that the
users was in the proper group but the script failed to access the
indicated directory (permission denied)...but if I took the group entry
from LDAP and put it in the /etc/groups file it worked.

I suspect this has something to do with pam.conf..but I'm not sure
what.

Thanks
