solaris 8 netgroup problem

I have a odd problem

We have several solaris 9 and solaris 8 boxes in deployment and with solaris 9 I am not having any problems but with solaris 8 when i enable netgroup ldap stops to work.

I enable netgroup by editing /etc/nsswitch.conf and changing passwd: files ldap to passwd : compat

passwd_compat: ldap

netgroup: ldap

then restarting /etc/init.d/nscd

I do have the correct lines in my /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files to enable the groups

when i do listusers i see all the users that are suppost to have access

but when i do getent passwd username or id username it fails

any kind of auth fails as well when netgroup is enabled

however when i change back the nsswitch.conf file and just do ldap without netgroup ldap auth works fine

any suggestions ?
