If it's such a deficiency where are you're patches to fix the missing bits? I fail to see them attached to this mail. Maybe my mailer dropped them on the floor. Please resend them! thanks! > Is there anybody who use _properly working_ nsswitch and nss_ldap on > FreeBSD? Many of us are waiting on nectars code. He is very busy working on other things. And last time I checked he hoped to be picking it back up in June. He is doing the best he can. You can help by finishing his work and submitting the changes back so we get complete support sooner. I await you're contribution. ============================================================================= -Chris Watson (316) 326-3862 | FreeBSD Consultant, FreeBSD Geek Work: scanner@jurai.net | Open Systems Inc., Wellington, Kansas Home: scanner@deceptively.shady.org | http://open-systems.net ============================================================================= WINDOWS: "Where do you want to go today?"
