I have a bit of a problem with this patch because it doesn't actually do anything related to libnss-ldapd. I would be better if the autofs-ldap and sudo-ldap packages prompted for modification of /etc/nsswitch.conf. I don't think it is a good idea to configure autofs-ldap and sudo-ldap from the libnss-ldapd package as they are not related. There is no dependency relationship between them and there are valid use cases to use either one without the other (or use nss_ldap instead of nss-pam-ldapd). It would be nice if there would be some common infrastructure to edit /etc/nsswitch.conf, similarly to what we have now for PAM. There used to be a summer of code project for this but it didn't get very far into actually being implemented: http://www.milliways.fr/2009/01/28/debian-2008-where-now-2/ http://gnucrash.wordpress.com/category/google-summer-of-code/ http://bugs.debian.org/496915 So I'm considering tagging this wontfix I'm afraid. I'll try to give it some more thought though. -- -- arthur - [email protected] - http://people.debian.org/~adejong --
