Yes, this is working fine. Thanks for that tip, now i can concentrate
my attention to the nsswitch.

No, only if i inserted a wrong password i get:
Aug  5 13:48:26 testrechner su: pam_ldap: error trying to bind as user
"uid=test,ou=people,dc=fechner,dc=net" (Invalid credentials)

And this logentry is fine.

Thank you very much, now i know, that i'm not silly.

I have tried it now with a new installed Freebsd 5.1 machine and here
i get the same behaviour as on the upgraded machine(if the user in
passwd is present all is working fine).
