It would be more useful to have this discussion if you defined what
you meant by "FreeBSD configuration" in more detail. You might also
want to search the archives first, there is a lot of discussion
about various proposals in this area, all of which end up getting
shot down because they don't offer sufficient added value to
justify the pain of the change.
I mean exactly that. Initially I have begun looking at rc.conf as a
logical starting point.
It seems I did misunderstand you initially. I thought you where
talking about integrating LDAP into the base to allow NSS/PAM stuff to
be provided via LDAP.
I am currently wondering if any one else working on this, before I
start digging to much into it. The only LDAP stuff I am finding
on this list has been recently in regards to integration of a ldap nss
module into the base system.
Right, this is the only major discussion we had in the last months in
the public lists. And as long as we (FreeBSD) don't have this, we
don't even need to think about getting an rc.conf out of LDAP (we
wouldn't be self-hosting anymore if we do this before we have LDAP
stuff in the base).
Bye,
Alexander.
