The problem here is that OpenLDAP's ldap_domain2hostlist() is used to get the entries but that function expects an existing domain. It cannot lookup the domain itself or do a normal search. (there is obviously no documentation for this function but the source can be found here: http://www.openldap.org/devel/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/libraries/libldap/dnssrv.c) So unless you (or someone else) can convince the OpenLDAP guys to improve the functionality or come up with a patch for nss-ldapd I'm afraid this isn't going to be fixed soon. -- -- arthur - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://people.debian.org/~adejong --
