From my research into free BSD 6.2 and freeBSD 7.0 it seems that the /etc/nsswitch.conf does not support the netgroups: database. Is there any initiative to implement the functionality of the RFC? Is anyone else using a similar login system? The only way i see to accomplish anything similar is use the filter options of nss_ldap and custom attributes to develop your own workalike nss->ldap
