Re: nss_ldap and the linuxulator
Hi, if you look at the message of the linux base port, you will see that this part is discussed there. FreeBSD does not come with ldap by default, so does the linux base port. So far nobody complained loudly about the lack of a nss ldap port for the linuxulator, and nobody felt the pressure to create such a port and talk about it on the emulation list. Anyone who uses ldap in the linuxulator is free to create a corresponding port, quesions in case of problems creating such a port can be asked on the emulation mailinglist.
