It would seem cleaner to implement our own nss_ldap from scratch rather than importing a GPL one and then replacing it. IMHO, having the GPL nss_ldap in the tree would make it harder to import another one. Once people start using nss_ldap, they are going to get very picky about a replacement being bug-for-bug compatible. --=20 Peter Jeremy --ibTvN161/egqYuK8 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFEribu/opHv/APuIcRAp5TAKC8P3I6LSQlocioixAwvr+DCN34hQCeLQk3 QpbaWQWI5qumUBbJk+r5V8w= =yel9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --ibTvN161/egqYuK8--
