All the UserApp does is an LDAP bind, so I don't think the UA itself is
relevant here. How do you know that the user/password is ok, though? That
could be a useful clue.

If you turn on an LDAP trace, what error do you get on the attempt to
bind?

Interesting. Not many useful hits in the knowledgebase for -254. It
sounds like this can mean "login disabled" on the server, or a timeout of
some sort.

Interesting. So how long have the broken accounts existed? If newly
created ones work, and old ones don't, that could also be a useful clue.

I'm leaning toward an NMAS problem at this point. It might also be useful
to see what NMAS says (ndstrace +NMAS) during their attempts to log in.
