Does anyone have pam_ldap working on FreeBSD?
I'm trying to get it going with FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE. Apparently, the fact
that nss_ldap doesn't work on FreeBSD yet is causing the failure. For
example:

If I put an account on the ldap server:
username = test
password = word1
uid = 1000

I can not log in. No ldap errors, just rejected login, however, if I also create
a local user in /etc/password:
username = test
password = completelydifferent
uid = 1000

I can now log in as "test" using the password "word1".  Apparently, pam_ldap
is working, but FreeBSD won't let the login complete unless it can convert the
uid back to a name.
Is there a workaround for this? Or do I need to fall back on NIS and use that?
It really seems like a shame not to be able to use this.  Is someone working on
getting nss working that I could help out?
