Hi,

Just to say that updating to etch pooched my libnss-ldap.conf file too in 
exactly the same manner.

I used ldapi[1] for anything that supports it, including NSS.  Before the 
update things were fine, after the update everything stopped working.  'host' 
had been uncommented and the ldapi entry placed in there whilst 'uri' was 
commented.  It all stops working as libldap2 (which is used by even 'ls') 
borks on the 'host' line being invalid.

Took me ages to fix this[2], not blaming you or demanding an apology, it's
just that it is such a subtle difference that has such a huge effect.

To be honest for something scriptable I would dump 'host' altogether and just 
use 'uri' in any auto-configuration script...then everyone is happy[3] :)

This bug also caused/related to Debian bugs:
  * 408440
  * 375097 which probably is the cause of all this due to the patch applied
  * 416664
  * 415576

Cheers

Alex
