nss_ldap does just the uid/name lookup, pam_ldap does the authentication/authorization thing. If you only need user/group stuff, Bind does not need to be recompiled. I remember having installed the nss_ldap port, changed settings in /usr/local/etc/ldap.conf (or whatever nss_ldap installs), changed /etc/nsswitch.conf to use nss_ldap and that was about all. The documentation for nss_ldap is not always clear, but if you know your LDAP installation well, it is ok. -- olive _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
