"Interfaces" is an odd choice of word - why plural? > This module let's you use you LDAP server to authenticate users with > programs that utilize PAM. s/let's/lets/ and s/you/your/, but get rid of the second person pronouns (and "utilize" while I'm at it). "With" feels like the wrong preposition, too; it's easier just to start from scratch. > If used along with libnss-ldap, you can > replace your entire flat file (/etc/*) structure or NIS with LDAP. This dangling participle structure implies it's "you" that's "used along with libnss-ldap". Then "replace [complex phrase] with LDAP" is confusing ("...or NIS with LDAP"?), and LDAP certainly doesn't replace /etc/*. So I'd suggest: Description: Pluggable Authentication Module for LDAP This package provides an interface between an LDAP server and the PAM user authentication system. Using it along with libnss-ldap allows LDAP to replace the entire /etc/passwd system, or alternatives such as NIS. -- JBR with qualifications in linguistics, experience as a Debian sysadmin, and probably no clue about this particular package -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
