Ideally, we'd have an installer that would give a new user the option "Do you want a fully functional NSS and PAM implementation at the cost of higher overhead for shell scripts", and would install the correct binaries and set something in /etc/make.conf so that source upgrades preserved her choice. But that's another issue. As far as getting people to adopt FreeBSD .. you're helping me much more than any of this NSS / pam stuff. At least to me, a functional 1:1 (or M:N) is much more important.
