The long answer is: You need something like nsswitch to be able to use LDAP directly. There was a port of NetBSD's nsswitch implementation to -STABLE and -CURRENT a while ago by Jacques Vidrine. Unfortunately it didn't work with LDAP for a few reasons, and he doesn't have the time to rework it so it does. See for details. An alternative would be to use YP on your FBSD machines with a LDAP to YP bridge for the master. PADL have a commerical LDAP/YP bridge which you could use. HTH, Mike. -- Mike Gratton , "Every motive escalate." To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
