Hi Ashley,
Thanks for your docs, but how about directory listing? when root log
in and doing command "ls -al" on home folder is showing user name,
group and folder. But only user name is show correctly but the group
is only gid.

Normal users don't have the necessary permissions to do the lookup on

The authentication process is done usally by root then when you are logged
in you can't do lookups.
I've documented this here

In Section 3.3 Binding Linux/Unix Machines to LDAPs
(way at the bottom)
Short story is turn on NSCD, this service binds as root but caches the
information for the local user. Usually information you should cache is
passwd, group and aliases information which you have to edit
/etc/nscd.conf
You might want to check this out for NSCD
