What about TLS doesn't work?  Is it configured correctly?  I've got
nss_ldap working just peachy on a few 8.2 boxes, no problems
whatsoever.

I'll have to try cooker, but I know that on 8.2 nss_ldap/pam_ldap
work as good as they can for authentication (see my Authentication
with OpenLDAP article on MandrakeSecure; the entire thing was done on
an 8.2 box).

Of course, you keep saying 8.x but I find it odd that 8.0, 8.1, and
8.2 are all broken.  I can't say for 100% certain about 8.[01] but I
do know that 8.2 works.  Which "8.x" are you using, specifically?

Unless you can give me something to indicate that TLS is broken in
"8.x", I have to assume that it works.  I've done it, on 8.2 and
8.2/ppc, others have done it, and this is the first I've heard that
TLS isn't working with nss_ldap.  You have to give me something to
work with because I can't track down a problem that, for me, doesn't
exist.

If and when such a problem exists, sure.  Right now I can only think
misconfiguration of some sort for the reasons I've already outlined.

Expect -2mdk shortly, with the fixes to the spec from your previous
messages (thank you for that).  But you indicate that TLS is not
working on "8.x" but you say nothing about cooker... is TLS also not
working in cooker?

Well, you can try -2mdk shortly for some other fixes to the spec only.
