Comment 2 Nalin Dahyabhai 2011-05-23 15:25:02 UTC 
The default value for the "validnames" setting as we added it expects names to be at least three characters long, though this is relaxed a bit in subsequent versions to a minimum of two.  Setting
  validnames /^[a-z0-9._@$()][a-z0-9._@$() \~-]*[a-z0-9._@$()~-]$/i
in /etc/nslcd.conf should work around this until we catch up with it.
