I thought you where =20 talking about integrating LDAP into the base to allow NSS/PAM stuff to =20 be provided via LDAP. > I am currently wondering if any one else working on this, before I > start digging to much into it.

Right, this is the only major discussion we had in the last months in =20 the public lists. And as long as we (FreeBSD) don't have this, we =20 don't even need to think about getting an rc.conf out of LDAP (we =20 wouldn't be self-hosting anymore if we do this before we have LDAP =20 stuff in the base).
