Hi, Indeed, you are missunderstanding :) I want the OS to be able to query the LDAP directory for the things like: hosts definitions services definitions passwd(users) database groups database and so on, thats what nsswitch.conf is for on Solaris and Linux, there I can just say where the OS should look for what stuff. Basically: If I create a user in LDAP directory with, say a UID of 1000 and a group with GID of 1001, I can logon to FreeBSD when using a pam_ldap, but if I do a ls -l on a directory created by that user, I will always just see 1000:1001 as a owner, not a username and groupname.
