Local.

mango:~# grep messagebus /etc/{passwd,group}
/etc/passwd:messagebus:x:102:109::/var/run/dbus:/bin/false
/etc/group:messagebus:x:120:

There are no conflicting LDAP entries, getent just shows the stuff in those files:

mango:~# getent passwd | grep messagebus
messagebus:x:102:109::/var/run/dbus:/bin/false
mango:~# getent group | grep messagebus
messagebus:x:120:

But well, messagebus has 109 as primary group but the messagebus group has id 120. Group 109 is:

mango:~# grep 109 /etc/group
gdm:x:109:

Does that make sense? I am using kdm here!

mango:~# egrep 'Uid|Gid|Group' /proc/$(cat /var/run/dbus/pid)/status
Uid:    102     102     102     102
Gid:    109     109     109     109
