The manpage only lists the builtin sources. If a builtin source with the specified name isn't found, the code will search for an nss_xxxx.so.1 shared object and load that. So once you install the nss_ldap port, then the ldap source will start working. Also consider enabling nscd and adding the "cache" source before your "ldap" source. ldap group memership queries are slow :) -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
