I've got a preliminary patch that I'm going to submit upstream that
enables services support in net/nss-pam-ldapd. Services aren't as
flexible as users/groups in that you can assign ranges for different NSS
sources, thus running services_mkdb may in fact interfere with a site's
infrastructure if the particular service has already been defined on a
different port.
Maybe it's wiser to standardize a pkg-message string?
Also, one should never touch /etc/services if nsswitch.conf does not
contain compat or files and finally, adding a single service without
/etc/services using services_mkdb is not currently possible.
