Having nss_ldap in the source gives an ability to use nss_ldap right "out of the box" and equals it in rights with such nsswitch sources as NIS and DNS. If we have NIS in the base system, I don't see any reasons not to have nss_ldap. Besides, i'm sure, having nss_ldap in the base will make users feeling more comfortable when dealing with it. 2. I guess, we'll have to rewrite nss_ldap by ourselves sooner or later (actually, I can do it), so current nss_ldap import can be viewed as the first stage of the plan. The second stage is replacing PADL's nss_ldap with our own implementation. With best regards, Michael Bushkov
