Authenticate with Computers LDAP account?

[CDuv]

Hello,

I can get my LDAP users (objectClass=person, OU=Users) to be listed on FreeNAS 9.2.1.7 via:
getent passwd
but my machines accounts aren't.
Here is an LDIF example of such computer:

dn: cn=foobarcomp,ou=Computers,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: posixAccount
objectClass: simpleSecurityObject
objectClass: account
cn: foobarcomp
gidNumber: 4242
homeDirectory: /home/foobarcomp
uid: foobarcomp
uidNumber: 666
userPassword:
description: The foobarcomp computer​

Both usersuffix and machinesuffix are set correctly (respectivly: OU=Users and OU=Computers) in WebGUI.

On other servers (Debian 7) I've managed without any issue to setup PAM so that both my users and computers are listed by getent passwd.

By looking at the source depot, I can tell the "gui/common/freenasldap.py" file seems to completely ignore the "machinesuffix" setting but cannot understand how this Python script modify PAM behavior.

Done, it's #5757.

So I presume this is not an intended behavior?
