Here is where (once again) we have a difference of opinion. I still believe strongly that the nss_ldap part of your work should be a port, with a dependency on the openldap in ports. I've stated my reasoning on this in the previous thread, so I won't rehash it here unless someone asks. I would like to point out though that I feel the numerous problems raised in this thread give even more weight to the request that I, and others made not to have it incorporated into the base. This in no way is meant to indicate that your work has no value, or is somehow "less valuable" than work that is actually in the base. It is simply a realistic reflection of the fact that this facility will be needed by a small percentage of FreeBSD users, and the difficulties (costs) outweigh the corresponding benefit. A compromise position, if it can be made to work, would be to import your original work on the nss_ldap module, but have it use openldap from ports rather than having to import openldap.
