Ok. I don't have new templates at this time. I think I'll end up using
the shared libraries/restart-without-asking template and something that
resembles glibc/restart-services or libpam0g/restart-services.
This is what will be in NEWS.Debian file for 0.9.0:
The 0.9 release changes the communication protocol used between the
NSS and PAM modules on one end and the nslcd process on the other
end.
This means that after an upgrade, if the new nslcd is running,
processes that have the old NSS or PAM module already loaded will be
unable to perform queries.
For example, if a screensaver, that was running before the upgrade,
has locked the screen during the upgrade the user will no longer be
able to unlock the screen.
And these are the new packages (pynslcd will use the exact same
templates and configuration file as nslcd):
Package: pynslcd
Description: Daemon for NSS and PAM lookups using LDAP (Python implementation)
This package provides a daemon for retrieving user account, and other
system information from LDAP.
.
It is used by the libnss-ldapd and libpam-ldapd packages but by itself
is not very useful. This is an alternative to the nslcd package but
implemented in Python.
.
Note that pynslcd is currently EXPERIMENTAL and has not undergone the
same testing that nslcd has.
Package: nslcd-utils
Description: Utilities for querying LDAP via nslcd
These programmes provide for means to query and update information in
LDAP via nslcd.
.
getent.ldap - perform LDAP lookups bypassing nsswitch configuration
chsh.ldap - change a user's shell in LDAP
Any feedback is welcome.
