Thanks for the effort of bringing a working nss_ldap module to FBSD :)

Now that we can successfully log in - is there any hope of storing
the contents of a local login.conf/capability database in LDAP as well?
I'm no expert here but it looks there isn't a standard ldap scheme to hold
these entries (it looks pretty straightforward to invent one, though) and
even worse, nsdispatch/nsswitch seem to lack necessary infrastructure for
any of the getcap(3) functions.
Are there any plans to implement this?

That would be soooo sweet ;)
TIA

regards,
Sven
