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?
