Now I use a custom 'lock' attribute on all accounts and use a LDAP filter at the client end. This is fine for our purposes but could be a problem for appliances that don't provide much in the way of LDAP configuration options.

I've used something similar to limit access on host level, but if I remember correctly, such a filter would hide the account from the system, not only lock it... ?

No, this is PAM configuration, not NSS.

You can use 'pam_filter' in the PAM LDAP module to filter on an attribute's value. For NSS there's a similar 'filter' option but as long as that's not changed the user won't disappear.
