Etch and NSS with LDAP
Could someone
knowledgeable please confirm or refute this for me?
Since the
libnss-ldap package has been removed from etch (as of Oct 1st), I absolutely
cannot by any means manage all the normal linux logons for an etch
box using LDAP. Right?
The only way I'll be
able to do that, is either...
A) Wait for the the
libnss-ldap package to get fixed up and make its way back into
etch.
or
B) Download the
source code and fix it up myself.
Am I right about all
that?
Also, is there a
correct term for these "normal linux logons"? Does everyone even know what
I mean by that...? I'm referring to the accounts stored in your
/etc/passwd file.
Thanks,
