I think that is also the PAM part only because NSS does not provide any means to write values. > The use case I care about for this bug report is that it should be > possible to switch from libnss-ldap to libnss-ldapd without having to > modify the configuration file manually, even if the rootbinddn was set > in the configuration file for libnss-ldap. I'm afraid that is currently already impossible to simply copy the configuration file because not all options are supported and not all options have the same syntax (e.g. attribute mapping). I'm afraid I want to hold onto the bailing out on configuration errors because of the reasons outlined earlier so copying the file is not likely to work. I do want to make nss-ldapd pick up nss_ldap configuration options on installations as it currently does (and make it better hopefully). This makes installing nss-ldapd over nss_ldap very easy. Contributions to automatically migrate other (non-debconf-managed) settings is welcome. -- -- arthur - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://people.debian.org/~adejong --
