Under Gentoo, when using OpenLDAP and the pam_ldap and nss_ldap suite
for user authorization and nameservices, what is the
accepted/recommended solution for user account management? I'm
referring specifically to native programs at the command-line, and
equivalent to the standard shadow suite tools, not something like
phpldapadmin.
I've noticed that typical programs such as chsh or chfn have PAM config
files -- can PAM tricks be used to make them work with the fields
accessible via nss_ldap?
Also, there do seem to be packages listed in the database, such as
"cpu" and "diradm" that augment or replace the standard shadow suite to
deal with the data via LDAP. However, none of these are marked as
available on amd64. Why is that, and is there any way I can request or
help with the packages being made available and tested on amd64?
Thanks.
