Hi, New to the list, but I'm looking into developing a way to authenticate and grab user information from an LDAP server compared to /etc/passwd and company, or NIS. I was poking around the library code and noticed that FreeBSD does not have NSS (name service switch) support (otherwise I would use nss_ldap already out there - it doesn't compile under FreeBSD even with IRS use enabled, I've tried ). What would be the best way to write new getpwent(), etc. routines for FreeBSD? I could stick them into a library and have programs that want to use them link to it, but that is a pain (although quite portable :)). I'm working on a PAM system first (yes, pam_ldap is out there, but it sucks, lots of linuxisms), but would be interested getting some work done on this as well. Any thoughts, advice, pointers?
