You are missing something ;) The fact that you can't ssh in has
*nothing* to do with nss, *everything* to do with pam.

Though you might want to dreadfully, you cannot ignore pam - it's used
for everything to do with the Unix (yes, I know you're using Linux) side
of things (like login, passwd, ssh, su, gdm etc). nss is for the
Openldap-client side of things.

Also, the indexing of your db seems to be utterly missing.

So, read up all you can on pam and how to index your db.
