Two things I'd usually check here. Has sendmail been restarted since
nsswitch.conf was last modified? If not, and "ldap" wasn't listed as a
source for user information when sendmail read the file (which IIRC it
does only the first time it calls into glibc's NSS subsystem), then
sendmail isn't checking your directory server for user information.
The next thing to check is that the UID under which sendmail is running
can read the file, but I'm pretty sure that message came from a uid=0
process. In case it didn't, running "su -s /bin/bash smmsp", and
retrying your query with getent will probably shed some light on things.
HTH,
Nalin
