The thing that I'm most interested in is getting support for the existing NSS modules out there (nss_ldap being my personal interest). Is there a way with the IPC based model to make the existing in-process modules (I'm thinking nss_winbind and nss_ldap) work with the IPC daemon? If not, I doubt you'll get a whole lot of support for the IPC model because it will cause us to incur a maintence cost to make these other very useful modules work. -gordon --HxQt9wRz9wbL5Edg Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFASOo9Ru2t9DV9ZfsRAvl/AKC7sSIBvaGiUZHaQAYY+PSluSJSugCbBge9 My6NefctgyqtkC2vLagWXlY= =Mf24 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --HxQt9wRz9wbL5Edg--
