just to clearly disambiguate the situation: as from now, we'll be abandoning the nss-compat work. Arjen: if you however want to continue testing this approach (which IMHO would be a waste of time), could you please create another branch for this? so that Emilien can concentrate on the native NSS implementation... cheers, Arnaud -- Linux / Unix Expert R&D - Eaton - http://powerquality.eaton.com Network UPS Tools (NUT) Project Leader - http://www.networkupstools.org/ Debian Developer - http://www.debian.org Free Software Developer - http://arnaud.quette.free.fr/
